Nothing Grows

Food goes off here these days She feels lost so she prefers to stay He fusses around, making sure that she's okay Dreads the day he leaves for his final resting place A farm that's too big with nothing to drink Farmer that's sick, just wanting to sleep It's too cold here in the winter, And nothing grows here in the summer Light the fires, please, my sweet Let's just lay here in peace She now drinks a cask a week Since her memories have started to leak She has no desire to do anything So the days get shorter 'til the next will soon begin They don't stay for him, they stay for her So she doesn't wake lost and scream to be heard It's too cold here in the winter And nothing grows here in the summer Light the fires, please, my sweet Let's just lay here in peace He has the mind and wants to live, but not the health She'll live forever, unhappy, lost in herself He'd move mountains to live for her She'll resent him, until it's all just a blur Food goes off here these days And days never start since they've reached their age It's too cold here in the winter And nothing grows here in the summer Light the fires, please, my sweet Let's just lay here in peace It's too cold here in the winter And nothing grows here in the summer Light the fires, please, my sweet Let's just lay here in peace It's too cold here in the winter And nothing grows here in the summer Light the fires, please, my sweet Let's just lay here in peace It's too cold here in the winter And nothing grows here in the summer Light the fires, please, my sweet Let's just lay here in peace
