lyrics

THE FLATLANDS

She knew in time that the gate would swing
She knew in time that she’d look up and see him
Behind the elms the snow clouds were gathering
Into the winter her voice would sing

She would stand and face the wind
Over the Flatlands came its tenor roar
Its legion force
And she would sing

Beneath the pylons in lace white fields
We cut the violets that came like phantom spring
Dress billowing down the path into the wind
She knew in time that the gate would swing

She would stand and face the wind
Over the Flatlands came its tenor roar
Its legion force
And she would sing

Out of the silence she raked the leaves
I stood beside her beneath the giant trees
I thought I saw a figure wading through the corn
She knew in time that the gate would swing

(Words S H Jones)
