Color Of Water Lyrics

by M. Ward

I was all geared up and ready to go
Bounding for to leave my mountain home with a sky of blue
Between the leaves and the color of the water was green
High over the sea.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e77677-m_ward~color_of_water_lyrics.html ]
"Do you have to leave so soon my boy?
The winter time ain't even begun."
"Well I'd stay awhile," I turned to
Say.
"But the color of the water is grey and I'm going away"
