Oh the sun rolls down big as a miracle[00:00:10]
And fades from the Midwest sky[00:00:18]
And the corn and the trees wave in the breeze[00:00:22]
As if to say goodbye[00:00:29]
Oh my grandfather stood right here as a younger man[00:00:34]
In nineteen and forty three[00:00:41]
And with the sweat and his tears the rain and the years[00:00:45]
He grew life from the soil and seed oh[00:00:51]
I'm going down to the dreaming fields[00:00:57]
But what will be my harvest now[00:01:03]
Where every tear that falls on a memory[00:01:09]
Feels like rain on the rusted plow rain on the rusted plow[00:01:15]
And these fields they dream of wheat in the summertime[00:01:27]
Grandchildren running free[00:01:33]
And the bales of hay at the end of the day[00:01:38]
And the scarecrow that just scared me[00:01:44]
Now the houses they grow like weeds in a flower bed[00:01:50]
This morning the silo fell[00:01:56]
Seems the only way a man can live off the land these days[00:02:02]
Is to buy and sell so[00:02:08]
I'm going down to the dreaming fields[00:02:14]
But what will be my harvest now[00:02:20]
Where every tear that falls on a memory[00:02:26]
Feels like rain on the rusted plow rain on the rusted plow[00:02:32]
Like the rain on the roof on the porch by the kitchen[00:02:43]
Where my grandmother sings I can hear if I listen[00:02:50]
Running down running down to the end of the world I loved[00:02:56]
This will be my harvest now[00:03:09]
And the sun rolls down big as miracle[00:03:32]
And fades in the Midwest sky[00:03:39]
And the corn and the trees wave in the breeze[00:03:43]
As if to say goodbye as if to say goodbye[00:03:50]
