1st verse
There she waits In her abandon. Empty eyes Survey the land. No-one hears Her sad lament Except the swallows And the tattletale wind. |
2nd verse Milkweed and thistle Now over-run Floral borders Long untended. Bones of wind A plague of rust Signs of time Left unmended. |
|
3rd verse Once she watched Him wake the sun With clanging pails Asail the night And toil all day Chores seldom done At weather's fail Or end of light. |
4th verse And his wife As strong as he Bore his children And wiped his tears Not long ago Or so it seems They made promise Forever years. |
|
Chorus To passers-by she's just an ol' farm A run-down house and a broken barn. In their haste They don't see the waste Or feel the pain Of The Sad-faced Barn. |
Notes Folky/country sad lament and commentary on the state of the family farm |
