Testo Farm Boy - Jackie Leven
Testo della canzone Farm Boy (Jackie Leven), tratta dall'album The Mystery of Love (Is Greater Than the Mystery of Death)
When I was a farm boy
Working in snow
Putting up fences
In shadow of Skiddaw
It was cold in the morning
And my hands couldn't feel
But the hammers kept raining down
On wet molds of steel
And the sky made me brighter
With shape and with sound
Configurations
To menace the ground
But I found in my heart
Such peace and respite
From the nightmare of being young
In a coal caravan
As I lay in the dirt
The silence was better
Than any song ever sung
But the weather was changing
Sweet spring in the air
I left the farmhouse
On a song and a prayer
And I came to your city
In the trash they call fame
Where the hammers keep raining down
As they're painting your name
But whenever I ride north
And I look from the train
I can still see the farm boy
Alone in the rain
But I found in my heart
Such peace and respite
From the nightmare of being young
In a coal caravan
As I lay in the dirt
The silence was better
Than any song ever sung
But whenever I ride north
And I look from the train
I can still see the farm boy
Alone in the rain
Alone in the rain
