Springtime in the country

Each time I'm shocked by the light

The world lyin' fallow and you are apart from me

     Em          D         G            Cmaj7
Everythin' in my vision is movement and life

Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley

Springtime in the country

Bm7                Am7
I can smell summer on its breath

Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me

Everythin' in my vision, departure, and death

This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)

                  Cmaj7
Some close to the surface, some close to the casket

          Em7       D            G       Cmaj7
I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work

Canal boat and trolley, wildflower and barley

Springtime from my window

Bm7               Am7
Another month has not much longer now

    Bm                    Am7
The sun hesitates more on each evening's darkenin'

          Em           D      G          C
Would all things God allows remain above ground

     Am        D     N.C.        G          Cmaj7
Like grief and sweet memory, wildflower and barley
