iris dement - banks of the pontchartrain lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m goin’ back to where my garden blooms all year
where the wintertime speaks softly in the fallin’ rain
i’m goin’ back to my green+eyed lover there
and we will dance along the banks of old lake pontchartrain
i’ve grown pale beneath the streets of montreal
where the voices ring like bells in french+canadian
and the rivers stand imprisoned till the thaw
i am alone at night and dream of my own pontchartrain

[chorus]
take me to the station
i am late to catch my southbound train
i’m gonna call cousin libby
she will be waiting by the tracks when i pull in
i’m gonna roll across to america
just to stand beside my pontchartrain again

[verse 2]
these old rails shake like thunder through the night
soon i’ll have my green+eyed lover’s arms to comfort me
i can see my cousin libby by his side
her hair will flow in waves like on lake pontchartrain
