Working on the Farm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] That time again, begin the harvest The apple season's coming one year more And though I show a smile outside It always gets me every time I just can't help but think of how it was before [Verse 2] I don't remember when it was, and I don't want to But still the memory of that day just won't get out And though the blame wasn't put on me I wouldn't say too much, I wouldn't eat I had lost my chance to make you proud [Chorus] And I've been working on the farm Working 'til the setting sun is down again And brother's singing with the choir Practicing his solo parts and harmonies And sister's searching for herself Finding out the reasons she's slowly changing And Granny may be family as well But she won't be replacing you [Verse 3] I've been spending time with the bedroom mirror To stop and take a look at what I've become If I could be what you once were I'd make you smile, I'm sure I guess you don't know what you've got until it's gone [Chorus] And I've been working on the farm Working 'til the job is good and done Along the orchards running through the fields Lying on the outskirts of this peaceful town And I imagine you would both be here And working through the years You'd hold me on you shoulders And now the two of you are gone The days are cold and long When winter comes around And sometimes I'll feel so alone It doesn't feel like home Without your endless tender love and care Nothing's ever fair for no one [Bridge] I've been pushing through the tears lately Just like you taught me once And though I may not ever see your faces I'm growing up [Chorus] 'Cause I've been working on the farm Working 'til the apples all fall down Into the baskets lining up the fields Pondering the moment when they'll finally be of worth A chance they all deserve And each of them a soul The trees and all I've never been the kind to go alone I guess that there's a first and last for everyone [Chorus] And I've been working on the farm (Working on the farm) Working 'til the setting sun is down again And brother's singing with the choir (Singing with the choir) Practicing his solo parts and harmonies And sister's searching for herself (Searching for herself) Finding out the reasons she's slowly changing And Granny may be family as well (Family as well) But she won't be replacing you
