C
the screen door to the farmer’s porch
to the back porch , to the backlands
Am
it’s never left closed
C
a new air pushed a full wind
that brought worlds on through
Am
that only he could know
C
as the last of november passed
with his new life , with his new wife
Am
she said she was feeling a little cold
C
the ghost of a clown just danced in and
did a few tricks and danced out again
Am
warming a farmer’s soul

C
summer was all there was
we were working , breathing heat
Am
terror rising out of control
C
through that door came a breeze
wrapped on through our heads and around our spines
Am
cooling off the burning floor
D C
the morning’s breaking woke us long enough
G
we were sure we could see
Am
the whole of some older birds
G Am
riding to the ground on the falling leaves
