harvester Songtext
von lighthearted

It′s dead quiet where we live
We break our backs and have nothing to show for it
For forty days I roam around this desert
Seven weeks, no chance for change in weather

Plagued by indecision, for we are at a loss
The harvester is coming
Nothing we have can pay the cost

Stay ahead, don't get behind
There′s no use if you can't keep time
Oh, stay ahead, don't break, don′t break down

The owl sits
Perched up in a juniper
Patiently she waits for her love to return
He′s flying home, he's sure that he will make it


Hunters hide in shadow
Listening for a noise
The path ahead is narrow
He hasn′t got a choice

Stay ahead, don't get behind
There′s no use if you can't keep time
Oh, stay ahead, don′t break, don't break down

Make your money, don't sell out short
Read the records and the reports
Oh, make sure you fend for yourself

All the books that I could read
Can′t keep danger away from me
I′ll keep my head up and weather the storm
Oh, I'll keep my head up and weather the storm

(He sat with me last winter, now I sit alone)
