Farm Auction Chris Hadfield[00:00:00]
The sons came from across the land to help them through[00:00:05]
And last night in the kitchen was the missus' dream come true[00:00:10]
All her sons were standin'[00:00:15]
Laughin'[00:00:17]
Like a ghost from days long past when[00:00:18]
Their hopes and dreams were all she knew[00:00:21]
And they all got up on this last mornin' feelin' fine[00:00:25]
All those different motors to get started one last time[00:00:31]
By ten the yard was crowded[00:00:36]
The auction voices shouted[00:00:39]
Their neighbours movin' down the line[00:00:42]
They stand to watch the caller's hammer fall[00:00:47]
Another timeworn treasure carried off[00:00:52]
It took a life to build this farm and all[00:00:57]
And they just watch the hammer fall[00:01:02]
As each son reached the age to choose he left the land[00:01:08]
They couldn't seem to see the dream that guided their old man[00:01:13]
He knew they had to leave him[00:01:18]
But each one left him grievin'[00:01:21]
He'd hoped that one would understand[00:01:23]
So for the past ten years he's farmed his section all alone[00:01:28]
The prairie winds aren't easy on his 60 year old bones[00:01:34]
Though he knows what he's doin'[00:01:39]
It doesn't make sense to him[00:01:42]
He'll never reap all that he's sown[00:01:44]
They stand to watch the caller's hammer fall[00:01:49]
Another timeworn treasure carried off[00:01:55]
It took a life to build this farm and all[00:02:00]
Now they just watch the hammer fall[00:02:05]
Now he knows that they are troubled and a little scared[00:02:10]
Could strangers ever farm this land and care the way they cared[00:02:15]
But each spring the land will freshen[00:02:20]
And their pain will lessen[00:02:23]
With all that they have shared[00:02:26]
They stand to watch the caller's hammer fall[00:02:31]
Their way of living split and carried off[00:02:36]
It took a life to build this farm and all[00:02:42]
Now they just watch the hammer fall[00:02:47]
They just watch the hammer fall[00:02:52]
