Leftover Salmon - Down in the Hollow lyrics

Went down in the hollow Where the wild redtails fly And the oaks and the sycamores Reach up to the sky The old river was Clear outta sight Back to a time On a cold southern night Way up in the hills In the woods dark and deep The light and the shadows Silently creep The owl and the whippoorwill Called out through the mist And the call of the moonlight And the will of the winds If I could return To the days of my youth And the time that I spent In those Tennessee woods Seems like just yesterday But it was so long ago How the time slips away So much more than we know Went down in the hollow Where the wild redtails fly And the oaks and the sycamores Reach up to the sky The old river was Clear out of sight Back to a time On a cold southern night Went back to a time On a cold southern night
