hooknorton - high clay lands lyrics

Loading...

the hard water streams steam over the flint
where the pickle and barley all grow
it sings as it dances through white banks of chalk
the high claylands of suffolk are the ones that i know

i first saw her walking in the twilight of winter
we were losing our first coat of crystal white snow
the icicles cracked in the cold of evening
i asked her to go with me, she answered “no”

now the swallows have gone and the icicles melted
skylarks and gulls would commune with the sun
winter was long but now springtime approaches
the cycle of life now has slowly begun

i next saw her working in the beet fields of springtime
pushing a plough through the wet sodden earth
the breadth from the punches lay paper trails
yawning, i asked her to go, she just smiled with her mouth

in the harvest of summer, i next saw her playing
running and laughing through my golden corn
the smile on her face said “i’m happy to see you”
but her body was tired and her spirit was worn

now the swallows are gone and the icicles melted
skylarks and gulls would commune with the sun
winter was long but now springtime approaches
the cycle of life now has slowly begun
i married her then amidst the sweet rains of april
she loved me so gently, a baby to form
but the hardships of childhood had scarred her so deeply
she left me alone with the child she had borne

now the swallows are gone and the icicles melted
skylarks and gulls would commune with the sun
winter was long but now springtime approaches
the cycle of life now has slowly begun
