Well, I, own this field and I wrote this sky
And I, have no reason to reason with you

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered
But I'd understand that I'd never let it go
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered
But I'd understand the world does what it does

And you never did learn to let the little things go
You never did learn to let me be
You never did learn to let little people grow
You never did learn how to see

But I'd whisper that I love this night now and for forever
To your soul as it floats out of the window
To the world that you turned your back on
To the world that never really let you be

And I am lower now and lower still
And you'd always say that one day I would suffer
Did always say that people get their pay
You did always say that I was going places
And that you wouldn't have it any other way

But I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like, wouldn't let me
But I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like, I needed

And I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like, wouldn't let me
And I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like, I needed

And I shouldn't turn my back on the sweet smelling blackberry stone
