Intro: (4x) verse 1: When I walk the hills so high Around the town where I was born New York seems so far away Though I was there just yesterday verse 2: I have played on my guitar In coffeehouses, halls and bars Everyone that I call friend Knows they will not be forgot verse 3: Trains and planes and rented cars Singers, saints and other stars I suspect them every one They'll never change, it's too much fun Just for now I'd like to rest In the shade of a maple tree To the blue Canadian sky I'll say a prayer for the world out there verse 4: When I stand on my own sod It feels so good to be home, by god The winter wind has turned my head But I always came up warm somehow VERSE 5: Bottles, beads and cigarettes And lovers that I ain't found yet Picking with a friend till dawn And singing all those hi'way songs INTERLUDE: Just for now I'd like to rest In the shade of a maple tree To the blue Canadian sky I'll say a prayer for the world out there VERSE 6: When I walk the hills so high Around the town where I was born New York seems so far away Though I was there just yesterday VERSE 7: I would travel all my life If loneliness was not the price While heading north across that line's The only time I'm flying OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
