lyrics

Spent the day in the fields,
Out the back 'cross the farm with your friend,
Fooled around with the breeze,
And then out to the hayloft
With the sun on the trees.

You climb up on the trailer,
Then you're up on the tailgate,
You're watching your friend
As he moves up ahead

He stands and he talks,
He tells you of art,
And he talks about movement,
As you stare down the cracks between the bales.

While your friend is still expounding,
Your thoughts turn without warning
To girls in the straw, breasts in the hay.

And he's done with his talking,
And he waits for an answer,
But you've nothing to say to him now.
And he moves 'cross the hay bales,
And he's down in the trailer,
He's guiding your feet to the wall.

Such a beautiful vista:
Distant hills with the fields in the fore,
Through which we'll run, mist clad and old.
