We planned to leave early 

And to pack unheavy 

Because the truck was getting full. 

But the same old fear 

At the end of the year 

Wouldn't let us leave so soon. 



The Blue Ridge Mountains were calling, 

The rain was falling, 

The wind was in our faces. 

And above the sound 

Of the engine I found us 

Arriving at those places. 



I've heard you say a 

Thousand times 

That we could never leave 

This town, 

But where were you last night 

When the sun went down. 



The rain proved steady 

And as our packs wore heavy 

With the weight of our survival. 

The woods rang loud 

With the love of our God 

And the sound of our revival. 

The summer wind turned colder 

As the day grew older, 

The night would soon surround us. 

The Curtis Falls 

Had a view of it all 

As the snow fell all around us. 



I've heard you say a 

Thousand times 

That we could never leave 

This town, 

But where were you last night 

When the sun went down. 



I was singing alone, 

You were standing on the side. 

And the water so warm 

As you walked the mountain side, 

And you washed my feet and cried. 



Well, the days passed quickly 

And our time was over 

Three souls the same in sorrow. 

But the Reds and rain 

Put an intimate stain 

On the start of our tomorrow. 



And soon our pieces will scatter 

In a world of anger, 

The only thing to free us 

Is the part of man 

That we don't understand 

That found a place between us. 



I've heard you say a 

Thousand times 

That we could never leave 

This town, 

But where were you last night 

When the sun went down.
