Face Of Appalachia (Album Version)

Face Of Appalachia (Album Version) - Valerie Carter

Written by：L. George/J. Sebastian

Being born in blocks of buildings with a subway lullaby

When I dreamed of Appalachia it was dreams that had to die

Coal trains wailing banjos failing

Sounds escaping through the night

Oh the face of Appalachia was there in that cold grey apartment light

In that cold grey apartment light

Oh I would fashion

I'd imagine somewhere steep with a waterfalls

Wild birds sing to a five string bouncing music off the mountains walls

Coal trains wailing banjos failing

Sounds escaping through the door

Oh the face of Appalachia she was changing that's for sure

She was changing that's for sure

Grandpa made me quite a promise for the day I came of age

He said we'd walk through Appalachia Northern Georgia up

Oh to to Maine

Dreadful sorry my beloved

Such a promise he could not keep

All my dreams of Appalachia they were just an old man's memory

Just an old man's memory
