Cornfield Ablaze

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw you from the tractor The harvest had begun You were the love child of two gods I was the farmers awkward son You left Mount Olympus To find your soul mate I left a scribbled note, quote "Dear Pa, this here harvest can wait" [Chorus 1] You took a match to my dry August days Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze Flames licked the sky, that was some summer haze Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze How do I love you, let me count the ways Cornfield ablaze [Verse 2] Pa don't be angry The fields that were host To the corn and the wheat The fact is they're toast In self defence I'm obliged to point out There'll always a risk of combustion When there's been a drought [Chorus 1] You took a match to my dry August days Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze Flames licked the sky, that was some summer haze Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze How do I love you, let me count the ways Cornfield ablaze [Bridge] Imagine if the firemen worked and worked for days And still the cornfield stayed ablaze... [Verse 3] Her hair it was golden Her hair it was yarn We were playing with fire In the number one barn Carried away like two sparks on a breeze Then we fused into one at a thousand degrees [Chorus 2] You overwhelmed agricultural man Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze You wild pyromaniac daughter of Pan Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze You took a scarecrow and made him a man Cornfield ablaze Cornfield ablaze Cornfield ablaze Cornfield ablaze [Outro] (Go go)
