Potter’s Field

[Verse 1]
Thirty days has September
Thirty days in the sun
April, June and November
All these days on the run
But you gotta stop somewhere
'Fore you're betrayed by the wheel
Take my love by the hand
For a walk down to potter's field

[Verse 2]
Thirty pieces of silver
From a long-ago scheme
That's the price that you kill for
Fulfilling Jeremy's dream
But it's all blood money
Familiar friend at your meal
But the flowers still bloom
Every spring down at potter's field

[Verse 3]
Thirty years in youth's doorway
For philosopher kings
Thirty more that you work for
The tombs retirement brings
But you can't take it with you
Every day that time steals
And time in the end
Puts us all down in potter's field

[Verse 1]
Thirty days has September
Thirty days in the sun
April, June and November
All these days on the run
But you gotta stop somewhere
'Fore you're betrayed by the wheel
Take my love by the hand
For a walk down to potter's field
