lyrics

Nothing here but hard ground
Dry and dead and hard and brown
Great granddad’s farm, I’m told
But all I ever grew was old

I listen to the phone not ringing
I watch no one coming ‘round
And hold on another day, clinging
To this field of hard ground

All my life I’d work and plant
Every day from can to can’t
I used to think you reap what you sow
But that was long ago

I listen to the phone not ringing
I watch no one coming ‘round
And hold on another day, clinging
To this field of hard ground

The shadows stretch and crawl
Across the floor and down the hall
Sometimes I want it all to end
I wish to God I had a friend

I listen to the phone not ringing
I watch no one coming ‘round
And hold on another day, clinging
To this field of hard ground
Nothing here but hard ground
