I met this boy he's a country boy
he had blue eyes blonde hair reminded me of
a man I had not too long ago
a man I used to know
His words were short but they left a mark
he said whatcha doing out here young girl
won't you come with me I will marry you
won't you come with me tonight
In a forest cross the river
over mountains and the sea
through the pastures and the fields of green
I'll take you home with me
His name was Jonathon Appleton
he wore a leather vest and a hat
didn't talk much but I knew I had
to join him on his journey
His words were short but they lingered long
he said whatcha doing out here sweet one
won't you come with me I will marry you
won't you come with me tonight
In a forest cross the river
over mountains and the sea
through the pastures and the fields of green
I'll take you home with me
He swept me off my weakest foot
danced with me like a man should
he said wontcha come back home tonight with me
and my mind went blank I just stared right back
maybe this was who my whole life I'd lacked
he said I'm gonna take you where you've never been before
In a forest cross the river
over mountains and the sea
through the pastures and the fields of green
I'll take you home with me
In a forest cross the river
over mountains and the sea
through the pastures and the fields of green
I'll take you home with me
