Lyrics of The Farmstead

The farmstead's abandoned now,
With empty barn and idle plow.
Owners walked along the streams
And gazed across their field of dreams.

Now they stand, man and wife,
As sun sets on a way of life.
Developers have bought the land
And propose pretentious plan.

A hundred homes will dot those fields
That once were lush with bumper yields
Of golden grain and new mown hay
That filled the farmer's busy day.

Yes. They bought the land
And propose pretentious plan.
They'll grade and pave and bulldoze trees,
But they can't erase the memories.
