nd Fret Intro: In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys Me, I have these green fields and I always will And I married out of high school to a girl I knew forever And we settled in together and three children came And the life that we were living, was forgive and be forgiven But whenever I saw sunshine, she could only see rain Left me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me And I felt myself sinking like the setting sun And the sky was like the ocean, pouring down around me I used to be so proud and I was all undone INTERLUDE: So I kept on working my land, and I held on with both hands And I watched the seasons turning in the sky above And I worked beside my father and we bent our backs together And I wondered would I ever find someone to love But when I was good and ready, when I stood up strong and steady Love came with the letters in the morning mail And I knew that I had found her when I put my arms around her When I see her now in the morning, how that sunrise pales Leaves me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me And I feel myself rising like the morning sun And the sky is like the ocean, wide and blue and rolling And I know that in my own heart, she's the only one In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys Me, I have these green fields and I always will OUTRO:
