In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley

Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill

You can have your city streets

And your backyards and your alleys

Me, I have these green fields

And I always will

And I married out of high school to a girl I knew 

forever

And we settled in together and three children came

And the life that we were living

Was forgive and be forgiven

But whenever I saw sunshine

She could only see rain

Left me standing in the cornfields

With the dry land all around me

And I felt myself sinking like the setting sun

And the sky was like the ocean

Pouring down around me

I used to be so proud and I was all undone

So I kept on working my land, and I held on with

both hands

And I watched the seasons turning in the sky above

And I worked beside my father

And we bent our backs together

And I wondered would I ever find

Someone to love

But when I was good and ready, when I stood up

strong and steady

Love came with the letters in the morning mail

And I knew that I had found her

When I put my arms around her

When I see her now in the morning

How that sunrise pales

Leaves me standing in the cornfields

With the dry land all around me

And I feel myself rising like the morning sun

And the sky is like the ocean

Wide and blue and rolling

And I know that in my own heart

She's the only one

In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley

Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill

You can have your city streets and your backyards

and your alleys

Me, I have these green fields

And I always will
