Redwood Hill

(Gordon Lightfoot)



I climbed the Redwood Hill 'twas on a rainy day
To rise above the crowd And talk to mother nature for a while

She told me of her love For the children in her trust
And of the great concern
For the likes of you and me and 'thers

    (Chorus)
    Fine and old she was She did speak these tender words
    The things that I am I could not change for any man

I tried to comfort her
But she would not be still
And how the rain did fall
As I found my way back down the Redwood Hill

    (Chorus)

I tried to comfort her
But she would not be still
I won't forget the day
When mother nature cried on Redwood Hill

I won't forget the day
When mother nature cried on Redwood Hill
