Intro: Verse I was born beside this River 'bout a half a mile from here But I never seem to notice The water ran this clear And I've never seen that color green Sparkle down the Glen Now I'll never pass this way again I have wandered through that orchard And played among her trees But I never heard the secrets That she whispers on the breeze For the only sound on hallowed ground Is the silence of the men Who will never pass this way again Bridge It never shone as beautiful as how it looks today We never miss the things we love Till they go away But I have heard the bugler's call And it's time for me to leave cause there comes a day When a man must say "I will die for what I believe" Verse I have often thrown my pennies In that old wishing well If I had a penny I would wish me a spell I would kneel and pray That here I'd stay Forever A-men But I'll never pass this way No I'll never pass this way No I'll never pass this way - Again Outro
