The Dillards - Listen To The Sound

"Listen To The Sound" From their 1968 release "Wheatstraw Suite"
You were born by the rolling ocean
I was born in the mountains green
Sing to the wind and the wind will tell you
All of the things the wind has seen
Listen to the tin can highway humming
Listen to the plow in the new green ground
Hear the sound of the freight train coming
There could be a place you never have found
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound
Listen to the tune that the wind brought down
Listen to the old-time sound of the fiddle
Telling of a place you never have found
We were born by different highways
Act so different in our ways
You can hear a sound of far off places
Echoes of a song in other days
You were born by the rolling ocean
I was born in the mountain green
Sing to the wind and the wind will tell you
All of the things you never have seen
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound
Listen to the tune that the wind brought down
Listen to the old-time sound of the fiddle
Telling of a place you never have found
