Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mountain Field (from Metamora)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 1 more year these mountain fields...
gosh... i turned up this thread while looking for another song. i'm surprised no one could help you. EM TO THE RESCUE!

it's one more year this mountain field i'll till
it's one more year this mountain field i'll till
no stones or buried sticks
begin to play me tricks
i wish i knew my darlin's heart so well

when it was fine and dry i prayed for rain
when it was fine and dry i prayed for rain
but when those drops did fall
many weeds grew tall
well, it's then i wished the sun would shine again

a farmer plants by season and by sign
a farmer plants by season and by sign
not so, love's buried seed;
it's sown in time of need
and it will not grow but by its own design

i think those are all the words. check out metamora's self-titled album or sally rogers/claudia schmidt's second album (can't remember the title).
