Darkness

[Verse 1]
Sun gleams on from the edge of the world
Like a big red drop of blood
And it pools til its heavy enough
To roll off beneath the cut
Darkness wipes it away
And the world goes black

[Verse 2]
If I can get this plate moving
Ain’t nothing out here to stop me
Ain't no hills and no rocks
I can draw a straight line easy
Oh, the rains on my back
And the whole world is flat

[Verse 3]
The wind ain’t blown here in days
Strange and lonely
The only sign is some old man in the diner talking about rain
That’s only hearsay
I’ll believe we’ll see no rain
Then again, I've been stranger things
Like a whole world is flat

[Verse 4]
We’ll build a barn over yonder
Plant some trees out to the south
Grow some corn or some cotton
Put a fence around the house
We can live here forever
