[Verse 1]
Farewell
I'll miss you something fierce
The place I grew
The love I knew
For all my dawning years

Sister don't you cry
I see tears behind your willow eyes
Just promise me you'll call
So I can hear you smile
Once in a while

[Chorus 1]
See I'm going to a forest
Where the river's black with sin
Gonna play my guitar there
Will you welcome me in?
Or spit me out again?

[Verse 2]
Father don't you worry
Oh I'll be back some day
See every child must go their way
But in my heart you'll stay

Mountains will you miss me?
‘Cos I'll be missing you
Your ridges blue
That tower true
Yeah I'll be missing you

Lakes so pure and cold
Hills all laced with gold
Days that dawn with nature's song
And end with folded hands
In stillness stood

[Chorus 2]
Now I see the city looming up ahead
It's iron trees don't bend in the breeze
Will you welcome me in?
Or spit me out again?

[Bridge]
I see the big city just walk on by
Big city don't you hear your people crying?
Big city just looks away
He says ‘Sorry I'm a little busy today'
Big city's got lots of faces
Lots of faces in their office places
But big city's got no heart beat
But it's got hearts beating on the street, beating on the street

Well, beating hearts begging for my money
And you know I think its kind of funny
‘Cos big city's got a big economy
But it's killing it's own community

[Chorus 3]
See I'm going to a forest
Where the river's black with sin
And iron trees don't bend in the breeze
Gonna play my guitar there
Will you welcome me in?
Or spit me out again?
