B.W. Stevenson - Touch of Pennsylvania lyrics
[B.W. Stevenson - Touch of Pennsylvania lyrics]
Well, the dawn is a-breakin'
The highway's awaiting
Where will you take me now, my long
winding friend?
So you've gathered up my memories of
All that you've shown me
And wrapped them in the colors
Of a rainbow's end
It surely must be beautiful there
You say there's all New Jersey mornings
The skies that are laden
With Florida sunshine
Mountains that are grown in
The corner of Carolina
A touch of Pennsylvania that all
But blows my mind
Among the laurels and the pine cones
I don't want to live alone
Bring to me a lady with children to bear
Let the light of our household grow
Bright as we grow old
Let a stranger be welcomed by a smile
Not a stare
It surely must be beautiful there
You say there's all New Jersey mornings
Skies that are laden with Florida sunshine
Mountains that are grown in
The corner of Carolina
A touch of Pennsylvania that all
But blows my mind
The journey through a long ride
Soon ended by a hillside
To rest there in the
Darkness awaiting the dawn
When suddenly before me
Like a fairy tale story
Unfolding in the sunlight was a sight
My eyes have never known
Hey, highway, I'm glad you came along
You say there's all New Jersey mornings
Skies that are laden with Florida sunshine
Mountains that are grown in
The corner of Carolina
A touch of Pennsylvania that all
But blew my mind
The highway's awaiting
Where will you take me now, my long
winding friend?
So you've gathered up my memories of
All that you've shown me
And wrapped them in the colors
Of a rainbow's end
It surely must be beautiful there
You say there's all New Jersey mornings
The skies that are laden
With Florida sunshine
Mountains that are grown in
The corner of Carolina
A touch of Pennsylvania that all
But blows my mind
Among the laurels and the pine cones
I don't want to live alone
Bring to me a lady with children to bear
Let the light of our household grow
Bright as we grow old
Let a stranger be welcomed by a smile
Not a stare
It surely must be beautiful there
You say there's all New Jersey mornings
Skies that are laden with Florida sunshine
Mountains that are grown in
The corner of Carolina
A touch of Pennsylvania that all
But blows my mind
The journey through a long ride
Soon ended by a hillside
To rest there in the
Darkness awaiting the dawn
When suddenly before me
Like a fairy tale story
Unfolding in the sunlight was a sight
My eyes have never known
Hey, highway, I'm glad you came along
You say there's all New Jersey mornings
Skies that are laden with Florida sunshine
Mountains that are grown in
The corner of Carolina
A touch of Pennsylvania that all
But blew my mind
