He is the farmer and he turns our tired soil |
|
And watches as the water once so cool is brought up to the boil |
|
His tired eyes from relentless seasons burn |
|
Holds him to his every word and all things still left undone |
|
|
|
Look now there's another page another story |
|
Look now there's another reason why it's hard to rest in peace |
|
|
|
He is the sailor and he rolls on seven seas |
|
And we know he won't let go till the storm has brought him to his knees |
|
He'll keep on searching until all the shoals have gone |
|
And there's not one single dream that he can sail his ship upon |
|
|
|
He is the honest man and we all know how he's been |
|
And we all know his story and we've seen it on the silver screen |
|
And though his wisdom oh we barely try to save |
|
His memory it lingers oh and it will haunt us to the grave |
