Deserted

 

Verse 1

Pain in my joints

Legs swing out of bed

Day on the farm

Forms in my head

 

Verse 2

Tractor beckons

Chugs into life

Drive past the cross

Last place of my wife

 

Verse 3

Its a lonely life

Children have gone

The local town

Holding nothing but forlorn

 

Verse 4

My old farm

Now too much for me

Owned by the bank

Wont set me free

 

Verse 5

Prison with no walls

Cell with no bars

Days long and tiring

A life of despair

 

Verse 6

Tears fill my eyes

As they often do

Blinding my vision

The tractor slews

 

Verse 7

Lay there pinned

Help far from screams carry

One tonne of tractor

A coffin to heavy

 

Verse 8

The sky never so blue

As my life ebbs away

Relief sweeps over me

On my final day
