lyrics

i close my eyes and listen to hear the corn come out.
don't you hear the stars they glisten - as we go in and out.
down where the trees grow together
and the western path comes to an end -
see the sign it says clear weather
i'll meet you tonight, my friend.
will the corn be growing a little tonight
as I wait in the fields for you -
who knows what grows in the morning light
when we can feel the watery dew.
i just can't be there with no other -
i know those hills will be true -
away from my sister and brother
down through the grasses so new.
the air is sweet and steady
and flowers bloom out of sight.
i know the sky is ready –
come meet me down here tonight.
will the corn be growing a little tonight
as I wait in the fields for you -
who knows what grows in the morning light
as we can feel the watery dew.
