Color of Water - M Ward

I was all geared up and ready to go

Bounding for to leave my mountain home

With a sky of blue between the leaves

And the color of the water was green

High over the sea

Do you have to leave so soon, my boy?

Winter time ain’t even begun

I’d stay a while, I turned to say

But the color of the water is gray

And I’m going away

And I’m going away
