lyrics

Hey, hey
The hills are already green
As green as they can be
Hey, hey
Won’t you come out walkin with me
Down by the bay laurel trees

Hey hey
And down where the babbling creek flows
As quick as it can go
Hey, hey
And mosses on everything grow
We will go, oh

As grey clouds gather overhead
The hills just look greener and warmer
And warmer tomorrows are just up ahead
If we make it through every storm

And when I say blood is thicker than water
I mean we hold our two cut palms together
United against the past and its snares!

Hey, hey
The hills are already green
(etc)

Hey hey
The coyotes calling our names
Come back the trees and caves
And follow the paths you can’t see
And walk till the night turns to day
Hey hey

As grey clouds gather overhead etc.

Hey, hey
Sharpen your blade
Come with me now!
