Lyrics 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
