On The Green Grove Road

By Paul McCann

There’s a silence in a place that I’ve never seen before

It’s in the high place on a mountain where the eagles soar

There’s a beauty fills the landscape there underneath the sun .

and the world’s become a brighter place ever since you’ve come .

I met you on a mountain as the sun danced in the sky

I saw you on the hillside through the corner of my eye

On the green grove road so far from home , on a summers day       

In my mind you will always be there in a mystic way .

On the ground you tread , not a word was said as you passed by

and in my head , my thoughts strayed like an eagle in the sky   

On the green grove road , where the river flowed and time stood still    

You rushed through like the wind that blew from the top of the hill         

I’m encouraged by the wind there that rises from below

Its looking for direction and somewhere it has to go .

Eagles never question why they fly through the empty sky    

they just glide through a restless wind  and watch the world go by .
