Nancy's Plan Songtext
von Ezra Briggs

Nancy came by the farm last night
She came and she stood by the gate
I finished my work, turned off my light
And stepped out into her gaze

My boy, you′ve grown so broad and old
You wear your father's face
The wind blew cold
The stars shone bright
When Nancy took me away

Nancy took me to church last year
She held my hand as we sang
She ate my bread, I drank her wine
Then Nancy told me her plan


I′m leaving here, this empty world
These lifeless fields I hate
Her eyes met mine
My skin burned hot
When Nancy asked me to wait

How wistfully I spent the spring
Thinking of her voice
How fervently I prayed at night
That she wouldn't forget my choice

Nancy came by the farm last night
She came and she stood by the gate
I finished my work, turned off my light
And stepped out into her gaze

My boy, you've grown so broad and old
You wear your father′s face
The wind blew cold
The stars shone bright
When Nancy took me away

Yes the wind blew cold
The stars shone bright
When Nancy took me away
