Lyrics
Furrows In The Wind 1. I knew a man in my home town And he was always right His hands and lawn were manicured His house was nice and white And all his friends and family Were along for the ride All neatly pressed, it seemed to me The world was on his side 2. He got a mega money stereo That only played the news A suit for every half a day And twice as many shoes His dreams were filled with dollar bills It took up all his time His children hardly knew the man Who worked from five to nine Chorus And I tore my heart out trying to understand The wisdom of the hardened heart The virtues of the man To see and hear through his eyes and ears What is and what has been And lie low within the furrows of the wind 3. There's a woman down in music town Who finally cut the cord With the kids in school and a house to keep There's no time to be bored We share these days, one at a time 'Til the kids are grown and gone Weekends there yours, weekdays their mine Are we dying, or being born 4. She had weekends free, and gas money Come Friday she'll be torn And her cycles filled with spills and bills And an occasional John All the trials and tribulations Were settled in the dust Her life was full and empty With love and loveless lust Chorus 5. There's a miller, without a mill Just stone upon stone There's a fisherman without a boat Beyond his last trip home There's a carpenter who lost the will To drive another nail Each end is a beginning Each beginning a tale 2nd Chorus As I throw my hands out That's life I suppose How could there be such glorious highs Without those woeful lows Just realize what's hurting you And begin to have an end Lie low within the furrows of the wind 6. There's a town crier, thunder That reveals the blackened form There's a hard wind that sweeps the front That brings the mighty storm There's a blue sky that's twice as high That never will be gone There's a frightening crack that rips the clouds That pours as if they're torn 2nd Chorus
