Beth's Farm

Fear not the heat of the sun.

I’ve feared it since we moved up here in 2001,

Cut your lip on the cobble.

We’ll drive into town to meet everyone.

I’ll see you later,

Mum & Dad are waiting in the car,

Mum & Dad are waiting in the car.

I pull at the grass, you tie up the flowers.

We kiss beneath the apple tree,

And I’ve never felt so in love until now.

Daisy-chain the nights sat on the farm,

Play Kanye,

Play Rosie,

Play Mulan.

We’re born in the grass to suck on the field.

Look closely and there’s milk underneath everything you see,

Every rock, every pine tree.

We dance in the barn, step out into the mud,

You’re laughing and the moonlight’s shining bright across the crops.

There’s no pain here, there’s no blood here,

And your eyes shine like two oats.

We’ll grab the booze,

Get into the car,

And everyone’s driving to Beth’s Farm.

We’ll play with the sheep

And the hens in the yard,

And nobody dies on Beth’s Farm.

There’s beauty in God,

There’s peace in the Psalms,

And nobody dies on Beth’s Farm.

The tractor is big,

But my heart is large,

And nobody dies on Beth’s Farm.

Fear not the voice of your love.

Don’t tremble at the sound,

It will never, it will never let you down.

I’ll call you when the bus is pulling in.

I’ll be there,

I’ll be there,

I’ll be there.

I turn out the light,

I sleep in your arms,

And everyone dreams on Beth’s farm.

And this world is quiet,

And this soul is calm,

And nobody dies on Beth’s Farm.

The egg is the moon,

The beans are the stars,

And nobody starves on Beth’s Farm.

And Heaven so bright,

It cannot be far,

But nobody dies on Beth’s Farm.

We’ll grab the booze,

Get into the car,

And everyone’s driving to Beth’s Farm.

We’ll play with the sheep,

And the hens in the yard,

And nobody dies on Beth’s farm.

There’s beauty in God,

There’s peace in the Psalms,

And nobody dies on Beth’s Farm.

I’ll see you again,

It’s not very far,

I’ll see you again on Beth’s Farm.
