Outside the Nashville city limits[00:00:01]

A friend and I did drive on a day in early winter[00:00:04]

I was glad to be alive[00:00:08]

We went to see some friends of[00:00:11]

His who lived upon a farm[00:00:14]

Strange and gentle country folk[00:00:18]

Who would wish nobody harm[00:00:20]

Fresh-cut sixty acres[00:00:24]

Eight cows in the barn[00:00:26]

But the thing that I remember[00:00:30]

On that cold day in December[00:00:34]

Was that my eyes they did brim over[00:00:39]

As we talked[00:00:44]

In the slowest drawl I had ever heard[00:00:50]

The man said "Come with me if y'all wanna see[00:00:52]

The prettiest place in all of Tennessee"[00:00:57]

He poured us each a glass of wine[00:01:00]

And a-walking we did go[00:01:02]

Along fallen leaves and crackling ice[00:01:06]

Where a tiny brook did flow[00:01:08]

He knew every inch of the land[00:01:12]

And Lord he loved it so[00:01:14]

But the thing that I remember[00:01:18]

On that cold day in December[00:01:23]

Was that my eyes were brimming over[00:01:27]

As we walked[00:01:32]

He set my down upon a stone[00:01:38]

Beside a running spring[00:01:40]

He talked in a voice so soft and clear[00:01:43]

Like the waters I heard sing[00:01:45]

He said "We searched quite a time[00:01:47]

For a place to call our own[00:01:50]

There was just me and Mary John[00:01:54]

And now I guess we're home"[00:01:56]

I looked at the ground and wondered[00:02:00]

How many years they each had roamed[00:02:02]

And Lord I do remember[00:02:06]

On that day in late December[00:02:10]

How my eyes kept brimming over[00:02:15]

As we talked[00:02:20]

As we walked[00:02:25]

And standing there with outstretched arms[00:02:30]

He said to me "You know[00:02:33]

I can't wait till the heavy storms[00:02:35]

Cover the ground with snow"[00:02:38]

"And there on the pond the watercress[00:02:40]

Is all that don't turn white[00:02:43]

When the sun is high you squint your eyes[00:02:46]

And look at the hills so bright"[00:02:49]

And nodding his head my friend said[00:02:52]

"And it seems like overnight[00:02:55]

That the leaves come out so tender[00:02:58]

At the turning of the winter"[00:03:03]

I thought the skies they would brim over[00:03:08]

As we talked[00:03:12]
