These Old Dark Hills Lyrics

When day is done and work is through
I seek the old familiar view
Those faithful confidants of stone
Truer friends I've never known
Chorus:
These Old Dark Hills
On which sore eyes can rest
These Old Dark Hills
Ridge after ridge to the west
I hear the wind from a distant time
Blowing lonesome through the pines
From when the ancient wilderness
Was free of uninvited guests
Chorus:
Father of the timber and the coal
Mother to the music of my soul
Sister of the quiet and serene
Brother to the land of broken dreams
Chorus:
Oh, their grace and the majesty
Speak silently to me
And hold my gaze lovingly
How I ever long to see
Chorus:
