about

I used to call this Bobby's song, after Bobby McGee.

lyrics

The January streets are desolate and curbed of all desire
just like the summer fields of home, burned to protect from fire
Smoking under dusty mountains, in shades of velvet gold
Green's the color of winter, in the place that I call home

And Uncle John said that he never loved the Hudson
like he loved our little river
that goes dry every summer
but he had to live close to the one to write about the other
Johnny knew about the type of green that only comes with winter

That January green...

So why do we have to travel so far away from home
to understand the level of longing in our souls
see I slipped away so very long ago
but green's the color of winter in the place that I call home
that I call home
that I call home
