Connecticut Skies

Don’t need the Midnight Train to Georgia
Not going to Carolina in My Mind
We’ve got 250 miles of salt air, sand and shoreline
And 700 more of mountains
Or we’ll meet on an Elm City street
With as many different people as October leaves

(chorus)
We are the neighbor right next door
And a wonderful world away
We stay by the long tidal riverside*
Under Connecticut skies

It’s not Sweet Home Alabama
Not another yellow Texas rose
It’s 250,000 mile fences of stone
The Northeast wind carries woodsmoke
As we watch the snow fall to the ground
Somehow just like magic everything slows down

(chorus)

No matter how far I fly I’ll return to your eyes
By the spider web of winding river roads
Cause my home is by your side

(chorus)

*Quinnitukqut = Mohegan word for “by the long tidal river”
