about

Inspired by Etta and Otto and Russell and James, by Emma Hooper.

lyrics

No food at home
If I stay I’ll waste away
Help you find stones
What a way to spend the day
Farming is for me, so
Riding tractors here we go
The difference now is small, I know
(But for) you and I it’s waist high
Gone to a war, these
Legs were never good for
I’m more use here
Walking back, and waltzing more
Now I’m farming all the year
We never thought we’d see me here, leaves
You and me to pass the time
Standing in the dancing line
Twist and twirl your hand in mine
You and I, we’re waist high
