The farmer's wife is taken aback,
taken aback by an empty tract.
The farmer's wife is taken aback, taken aback, taken aback
seeing how people run
fleeing with the setting sun
a ruin is what a city did become
And the dream faded soon,
faded soon by the light of the moon
The Farmer's Wife takes the time to speak to the empty streets
The Farmer's Wife takes the time to speak
and she says
The ones who loved you
The ones who loved you
The ones who loved you
Where are they gone?
Who cared & thought about
Who cared & thought about
Who cared & thought about you
Where are they gone?
Gone... gone...
They faded soon by the light of the moon
The mighty are fallen
and the proud brought low
when the visions of the past are thoughts the heirs don't know
The mighty are fallen
The Farmer's Wife, she's taken aback
She's taken aback, empty tracts
What the old ones know
What the old ones know
What the old ones know
the young ones don't
What the lover knows
The lover knows
The lover knows
the stranger won't
Faded soon by the light of the moon
The mighty are fallen
and the proud are brought low
when the visions of the past are thoughts the heirs don't know
The mighty are fallen
Through the years the Law is unchanged
The land is a loan Life will reclaim
The farmer's wife is bigger than life,
bigger than life with a carving knife
The Farmer's Wife is bigger than life,
bigger than life with a carving knife
Seeing how the people run
fleeing with the setting sun.
A ruin is what a city did become
Left overnight, overgrown by noon
Left overnight, overgrown by noon
Left overnight, overgrown by noon
Left overnight, overgrown by noon
Life leaps out of the ground
Out of the ground in the empty town
