lyrics

The wind is cold, and how the woods are silent
I’d say the two of us have seen our share of violence
Though I know you worried, I always came through
I crossed the Delaware that I might sleep beside you
Now let us rest a while, oh please Martha my love
We can spend out our days in this dear sweet country home
Let the fires of Mount Vernon take the chill from out our bones
Let the fires of Mount Vernon ignite our hearts as one
I know you never wanted to enter public life
Still you followed bravely every single time
Those days are at an end, oh yes Martha my dear
Our evenings are so warm, and our nights are so clear
We survived the cruelest winter in the frozen hell of Valley Forge
The fiery heaven of Mount Vernon will always be our home
The factions that might divide us
They’ll try to get inside us
But our [more] perfect union
Formed by our gentle constitutions
Can weather any storm
Let the fires of Mount Vernon burn the winter from our lungs
Let the fires of Mount Vernon warm us when our work is done
Let the fires of Mount Vernon keep the morning frost at bay
Let the fires of Mount Vernon melt our hearts away
