Francesco Turrisi ft. Rhiannon Giddens - Trees On The Mountains

TREES ON THE MOUNTAINS (by Carlisle Floyd) The trees on the mountains are cold and bare, The summer just vanished and left them there. Like a false-hearted lover, just like my own Who made me love him, then left me alone. The coals on the hearth have turned gray and sere, The blue flame just vanished and left them there. Like a false-hearted lover, just like my own Who made me love him, then left me alone. Come back, o summer Come back, blue flame, My heart wants warming My baby a name. Come back, o lover If just for a day, Turn bleak December Once more into May. The road up ahead lies lonely and far, There's darkness around me and not even a star. To show me the way or lighten my heart, Come back, my lover, I fain would start. The poor baby fox lies all cold in his lair, His mama just vanished and left him there. Like a false-hearted lover, just like my own Who made me love him, then left me alone. Come back, o summer Come back, blue flame, My heart wants warming, My baby a name. Come back, o lover If just for a day, Turn bleak December Once more into May. Come back, o summer Come back, blue flame, My heart wants warming, My baby a name. Come back, o lover If just for a day, Turn bleak December Once more into May. Come back Come back Come back...
