Another Story

He is the farmer and he turns our tired soil
and watches as the water once so cool is brought up to the boil
and his tired eyes from relentless seasons burn
that hold him to his every word and all the things still left undone

but look now there's another page,
another story
look now there's another reason why it's hard to rest in peace

He is the sailor and he rolls on seven seas
but we know he won't let go till the storm has brought him to his knees
he'll keep on searching until all the shoals have gone
there's not one single dream that he can sail his ship upon

CHORUS
INSTR.

He is the honest man and we all know how he's been
we all know his story and we've seen it on the silver screen
and oh his wisdom, oh he barely tries to save
his memory it lingers on and it will haunt us to the grave

CHORUS
