The Backpack Song

Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track
Oh, I've been wanting to see you
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
Oh, I've been longing to see you

You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
You don't know how much I need you
Once I feel the downy snow, the only home I've ever known
I'll hold you close when I see you

There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go

And it seems to me
We sing soft and low
Such a sweet hello

Backpack on my back, standing on a railroad track
It won't be long? till I see you
Why do I always have to leave the only one I'll ever need?
Now hold me close while I breathe you
