RambleTree - Green Mountain Light Show Lyrics

There's a mountain at the Hogback of town
Sure beats Hollywood when the sun goes down
Say what you like 'bout the silver screen
Mama Nature paints a finer scene
Here on old Abenaki ground
Tilt of the earth none can blame
Rocky bones make a sturdy frame
A canvas filled with flowing shades
A masterpiece of gleam and fade
Can't hold a candle to her flame
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Starts most days at twenty past four
The sun goes down, the hills light up
So fill your bowl and raise your cup
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Introduce you to the people here
When the rivers rise, don't show their fear
To busy trudging down the road
To help a neighbor lift the load
Black and white, straight and Queer
Farmers and the builders help to grow
What the brewers and the artists, they all know
Freedom and Unity
Bound by necessity
Boil down a warm amber glow
My heart wakes up with the shine on the mountain
My mind slows down in the valley shade
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Starts most days at twenty past four
The sun goes down, the hills light up
So fill your bowl and raise your cup
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
In the year two thousand twenty four
An April sky rarely seen before
New moon crossed before the sun
With Vermont and everyone
Sure bit us down to the core
Black circle crowned with silver light
Mind's eye cannot forget the sight
Friends and neighbors on the ground
Lookin' up you could see the sound
Day tried on the cloak of night
My heart wakes up with the shine on the mountain
My mind slows down in the valley shade
My heart wakes up with the shine on the mountain
My mind slows down in the valley shade
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Starts most days at twenty past four
The sun goes down, the hills light up
So fill your bowl and raise your cup
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
Welcome to the Green Mountain Light Show
