Lyrics
Aw the mailman don't come here
At the end of the tracks
Where the wind and the wheat grow
Like her hair long and black
She had one foot out the door
As you held her in your arms
Aw you can't pick wildflowers
Growing out past the farm
She don't need second guesses
She writes with a pen
And the hem of her garment
Says forever amen
And she can draw the lighting
From the thunder and rain
Standing out in the meadow
In her black Mary Jane's
If you want to stay here
Where everything turns
From the clouds in the sky
To the smallest of worms
Be prepared to throw away
Anything that you've brought
Aw she's working with the harrow
On the land that she's wrought
She ain't hard to read
Though she acts so concealed
Tries to be so naive
But the truth lies revealed
Aw she can light a candle
Leave you lost in the flame
She was born to stoke the fire
And your heart is much the same
If she comes to me
I will let her stay a while
And I won't ask no questions
I'll just fix up a smile
And I won't try to keep her
It's not that kind of love
I'm content to sit here watching
As the flames grow high above
