The Mountain Goats - Song For John Davis lyrics

the day we set sail from england the wind behind us was fair the day we set sail from england there were smiling faces everywhere and the snow came down on new hampshire today and the snow came down on new hampshire today the day we put the grain into the ground there were smiling faces all around and underneath the trees we planted when we landed when i was a child i spoke with the language of a child but when i became a man, i put away childish things and the snow came down on new hampshire today and the snow came down on new hampshire today
