Back For Good

Hampshire Alum and Biologist Phyllis D. Coley 70F Celebrated By The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.  Lissy Coley was one of the first Hampshire college students. She tells an interesting story about her time there, inspired, I wrote a song I call "I Would Know"


Verse 1
Way down south where the green vines climb,
Phyllis walked slow, takin' her time,
Notebook out and the sun runnin' low,
Chasin' the secrets the forests know.
From Amherst fields to Panama's heat,
She found where the wild hearts beat,
Every leaf and shadow below-
She'd smile and say, I would know.

Chorus
I would know-oh, I would know,
How the jungle hums where the rivers go.
From Hampshire roots to the tropic flow,
Ask the forest, ask the wind-
I would know.

Verse 2
First of her class when the College was new,
Dreams so big they almost flew,
Studied the teeth on the smallest bite,
Watched how the sunlight turns to night.
Each tree spoke in a language rare,
She learned to listen, she learned to care,
Years went by and her stories grow,
And she still says, I would know.

Chorus
I would know-oh, I would know,
How the jungle hums where the rivers go.
From Hampshire roots to the tropic flow,
Ask the forest, ask the wind-
I would know.

Bridge
Smithsonian honors her steady hand,
Mapping the life in a distant land,
Science and wonder in one true soul,
She's still out there takin' roll.

Verse 3
Every morning she greets the sky,
Names the birds as they driftin' by,
Tells the story the green leaves show,
Whispers low, I would know.

Final Chorus
I would know-oh, I would know,
How the jungle hums where the rivers go.
From Hampshire hills to the tropic glow,
Ask the forest, ask the wind-
I would know.

I Would Know

Recorded under the Sweet Songs label and released through The Americana Project, “Northern Lights” captures a rare night when the skies over western Massachusetts came alive with color. The song tells the story of neighbors and families stepping outside to witness the aurora, weaving light and memory into a moment of shared wonder. Written and produced by Adam R Sweet, it blends heartfelt storytelling with the spirit of New England folk tradition—grounded, luminous, and deeply human. 

Verse 1
We stood out in the quiet fields near Granby,
Under a sky grown soft with November chill.
The trees were still, the air held its breath,
And the old farm fence caught the moon-glow on its rails.
Then came a shimmer, a ghostly green in the dark,
Waving through the branches above the valley.

Chorus
When the northern lights danced over western Massachusetts,
Like ribbons of hope across our silent nights.
In the hush we felt the earth and sky remember,
That something wild can reach beyond our sight.
Oh (avoiding “oh” per your preference) the lights they came, the lights they came…

Verse 2
I recalled my childhood nights with fiddle in my lap,
Dreams of far-away horizons under starlight's grip.
Here in my home-wood I found that same spark,
The sky unfolded secrets beyond our daily script.
My sons looked up, their faces drawn in awe,
As the colors drifted over roofs and winding roads.

Chorus
When the northern lights danced over western Massachusetts,
Like ribbons of hope across our silent nights.
In the hush we felt the earth and sky remember,
That something wild can reach beyond our sight.
The lights they came, the lights they came…

Bridge
Say goodbye to the small routines that anchor us,
Say hello to the moment when the sky becomes our mirror.
Even when the seasons change and the light slips away,
We'll carry that memory of wonder in the bones of this land.

Verse 3
Now I walk the ridge at dawn, footprints in frost,
Knowing that magic picks its time to show.
And though the years will shape us, bend us, slow us down,
There are nights when we remember how it felt to glow.
The fields will sleep, the snow may gather round the fence,
But the echo of those lights stays with our breath.

Chorus (repeat)
When the northern lights danced over western Massachusetts,
Like ribbons of hope across our silent nights.
In the hush we felt the earth and sky remember,
That something wild can reach beyond our sight.
The lights they came, the lights they came…

Outro
Let our hearts be open for the next time they'll appear,
And in the quiet of Massachusetts nights we'll listen.
For the sky to speak in colors we once thought too far away.
