He is the farmer and he turns our tired soil
And watches as the water once so cool is brought
up to the boil
His tired eyes from relentless seasons burn,
Holds him to his every word and all things still
left undone
Chorus
Look now there's another page, another story
And there's not one single dream that he can sail
his ship upon
Chorus
He is the honest man and we all know how he's been
And we all know his story and we've seen it on the
silver screen
And though his wisdom oh we barely try to save
His memory it lingers oh and it will haunt us to
the grave
And watches as the water once so cool is brought
up to the boil
His tired eyes from relentless seasons burn,
Holds him to his every word and all things still
left undone
Chorus
Look now there's another page, another story
And there's not one single dream that he can sail
his ship upon
Chorus
He is the honest man and we all know how he's been
And we all know his story and we've seen it on the
silver screen
And though his wisdom oh we barely try to save
His memory it lingers oh and it will haunt us to
the grave
