Crops

Rain hit the roof

I prayed on my knees

You’d cut through the bleak

Week after week after week

I hardly could speak

You gotta way with your words

We laid by the creek

Further I sink and I sink

So love me or leave me, I love you believe me

Keep me or grieve me, don’t need you to need me

Need me

Just say that you want me

‘Cause I want you like the crops want rain

The contour of you

Should rest in the Louvre

Every notch and groove

There’s not that I’d, not that I’d move

The dogwoods all bow down

Church bells sound

You in your gown

Movin’ the God-given ground

So love me or leave me, I love you believe me

Keep me or grieve me, don’t need you to need me

Need me

Just say that you want me

‘Cause I want you like the crops want rain

We’ll ride side by side, cast doubt aside

Hand in hand so unified

With this life, go knife to knife

Cut the strife, and fight the fight

I’m alive you’re bathed in light, this life is trite, I won’t subside

I’m alive you’re bathed in light, kill the blight, and walk inside

Love me or leave me, I love you believe me

Keep me or grieve me, don’t need you to need me

Need me

Just say that you want me

‘Cause I want you like the crops want rain
