WILD GEESE
(Ian Tyson)

Wild geese flying by, calling on the downwind as they go,
No answers they send, and springtime has too many miles to flow;
The lone black pine, hillsides all covered in snow.
Why does the wind say you ain't coming back any more?

Was there a time when my dreams were not always of you?
The days ain't so mad, but each night takes so long passing through.
Down by the stream, fresh otter tracks in the snow,
Why does the wind say you ain't coming back any more?

I've got a mind just to ramble this whole country round,
With the fields turning green and the frost boiling out from the ground;
Drive through the miles of country I've never seen before,
Now that the wind says you ain't coming back any more.
