[Verse 1]
I saw you from the tractor
The harvest had begun
You were the love child of two gods
I was the farmers awkward son
You left Mount Olympus
To find your soul mate
I left a scribbled note, quote
"Dear Pa, this here harvest can wait"
[Chorus 1]
You took a match to my dry August days
Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze
Flames licked the sky, that was some summer haze
Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze
How do I love you, let me count the ways
Cornfield ablaze
[Verse 2]
Pa don't be angry
The fields that were host
To the corn and the wheat
The fact is they're toast
In self defence I'm obliged to point out
There'll always a risk of combustion
When there's been a drought
[Chorus 1]
You took a match to my dry August days
Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze
Flames licked the sky, that was some summer haze
Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze
How do I love you, let me count the ways
Cornfield ablaze
[Bridge]
Imagine if the firemen worked and worked for days
And still the cornfield stayed ablaze...
[Verse 3]
Her hair it was golden
Her hair it was yarn
We were playing with fire
In the number one barn
Carried away like two sparks on a breeze
Then we fused into one at a thousand degrees
[Chorus 2]
You overwhelmed agricultural man
Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze
You wild pyromaniac daughter of Pan
Cornfield ablaze, cornfield ablaze
You took a scarecrow and made him a man
Cornfield ablaze
Cornfield ablaze
Cornfield ablaze
Cornfield ablaze
