'You can't leave it swaying in the breeze, you've got hungry mouths to feed, so turn that barley field and us into dust'
lyrics
We laid down in the barley field
When we were hiding from our mothers
I can’t describe how love should feel
But i know it smells like barley ripe for harvest
So let the barley be harvested around us
And like our love let it turn into dust
Oh that barley field and us
Those Little black bugs fly around
And they find shelter in her shining blonde hair
I want to scream, I want to shout
But i know that no one can know that we’re down here
So let the barley be harvested around us
And like our love let it turn into dust
The barley fields and us
Let it turn into dust
You can’t leave it swinging in the breeze
You’ve got hungry mouths to feed
So turn that barley field and us into dust
Do you hear the tractor as it comes?
Do you see those metal blades? they are a spinnin'
You are my love you are my love
And every end must have a new beginning
They’ll mix the barley with our blood
And take us to a place so far away dear
You are my love you are my love
And all i need to know is that you’ll be near
So let the barley be harvested around us
And like our love let it be turned into dust
That barley fields and us
You can’t leave it swinging in the breeze
You’ve got hungry mouths to feed
So turn that barley field and us into dust
