Just before sunrise, down at The Farm

Two days to find you

Two days of scraps of torn up paper

Let me remind you

Even more

If you count the ballads

If you count the songs


Just at the break of day

After a late night gig

You walked the blues enormous

Your shoes they danced the simple jig


Now one step, and then one other

With a glass of beer in hand

It’s what he does best, so says his mother

But fails to understand


It is what he does

How ever many days it takes

The rhythm makes for the uncertainty

The liquor soothes the band


Two ways to remind you

The lays and loves behind you

All with torn up scraps of paper

All who want to hold your hand


Even more if you count the hedgerows

Then the green and promised lands

And the smile you rascal

That smile which you wear so dandy grand
