I've seen a bit of Amsterdam and a bit of Prague
|
I've seen a bit of London, twice ,between the fog
|
I've seen the North Cathedral and the bars around the beach
|
Dublin and Vienna and a dozen more of each
|
|
I've spent a year in exile in the forest to the deep
|
The clouds go overhead the spirits that they keep
|
The one minute opening your eyes in no place
|
Resignation fond with the scales on your face
|
Long live The Hudson River Valley
|
|
I've come to California near the place I was born
|
I've shed the last remains and myself pity and myself score
|
I've come across the Ambers that were left in 'ways
|
I won' come up to'and set them to a blaze
|
Oh, long live The Hudson River Valley
|
|
I've flew from New York City
|
Lack of sight as I was told
|
And still I must return to always place that I'll be close
|
And 'til I can retire far away where I can hear
|
The sounds that my heart now has come to cherish dear
|
Oh, long live The Hudson
|
Oh, long live The Hudson
|
Oh, long live The Hudson River Valley
|

Long Live The Hudson River Valley
