lyrics

I don't sound so out of key
though it's been awhile since you thought of me
That's ok, I don't take it personally

I've been working on the farm
I use my back, I use my arms
I think this crop will turn out beautifully

But I keep one eye on the city lights
And I see you there in your heels and tights and your top-hats
Almost ruefully

There's a wind that blows through now and then
That says I may never see you again
I lean on my hoe almost desperately

But I'll be here through the winter snow
And I'll be here when the garden grows again
But I don't want anyone to know
I didn't give you all I had
No one should have treated you so badly

Then like a dream you disappear
I think, I can't even see you from here
I go in and sleep deeply
