Lyrics

Late summer day and my 
Love and I went walking 
Over hills and fields 
we walked, laughing and talking 

Came across an old farmhouse 
Standing broken and bare 
It used to be someone's home 
Now no one lives there. 

There's a red barn standing 
Held together with nails and dust 
And a tired old Massey Harris 
All wires and rust 


Weeds overgrown in a garden 
sown with care 
It used to be someone's home 
Now no one lives there 

And through the crack 
In the window pane 
I hear the sound 
Of the falling rain 
Another farm being left run down 
Another family moved into town 

Had a life that they tried to save 
But the banks took it all away 
Hung a sign on a torn screen door 
Nobody lives here no more 

They worked their fingers 
To the bone 
Nothing left 
They can call their own 
Packed it in under leaden skies 
With just the wheat 
Waving them goodbye 


Had a life that they tried to save 
But the banks took it all away 
Hung a sign on a torn screen door 
Nobody lives here no more
