Intro Verse I saw you from the tractor the harvest had begun You were the lovechild of two gods I was the farmer's awkward son You left Mount Olympus to find your soul mate I left a scribbled note, quote: "Dear Pa, this year harvest can wait" You took the 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 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 obligued to point out There'll always be a risk of combustion When there's been a drought You took the 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 cornfields stayed ablaze... Verse Her hair it was golden Her hair it was yarn We were playing with fire In a number one barn Carried away like Two sparks on a breeze Then we fused into one At a thousand degrees 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!
