Cattle and Cane

歌詞

I recall a schoolboy coming home Through fields of cane To a house of tin and timber And in the sky A rain of falling cinders From time to time The waste memory-wastes I recall a boy in bigger pants Like everyone Just waiting for a chance His father's watch He left it in the showers From time to time The waste memory-wastes I recall a bigger brighter world A world of books And silent times in thought And then the railroad The railroad takes him home Through fields of cattle Through fields of cane From time to time The waste memory-wastes The waste memory-wastes Further, longer, higher, older
