lyrics

Lay of the Land


I keep wandering about the lay of the land
Wondering about the hills and the rivers in a man
If I'm made up of sky
And the clouds bear my sins
Would it be fair to ponder
How the plains share my skin

Your eyes hold your sadness like tractors wear rust
And if I'm reading you right you're about set to bust
As that slow inching sorrow gets ready to set
I'll see it through to the Rockies ‘fore I turn from the West


I keep wandering about the lay of the land
Wondering how a field runs fallow in a man
To see deluge through to drought
And let my lowlands without
Would be a barren reminder
Of how I shadow my doubts


Your eyes hold your sadness like tractors wear rust
And if I'm reading you right you're about set to bust
As that slow inching sorrow gets ready to set
I'll see it through to the Rockies ‘fore I turn from the West

I keep wandering about the lay of the land
I wonder about the holler that'll swallow up a man
As my shadows lay long
And lead the dusk into dawn
Would I be right to imagine
That we're the same

from now on
