    C
The screen door to the farmer's porch
To the back porch, to the backlands
Am
   It's never left closed
  C
A new air pushed a full wind
That brought worlds on through
Am
   That only he could know
       C
As the last of November passed
With his new life, with his new wife
Am
   She said she was feeling a little cold
    C
The ghost of a clown just danced in and
Did a few tricks and danced out again
Am
   Warming a farmer's soul

C
Summer was all there was
We were working, breathing heat
Am
   Terror rising out of control
             C
Through that door came a breeze
Wrapped on through our heads and around our spines
Am
   Cooling off the burning floor

    D                          C
The morning's breaking woke us long enough
                      G
We were sure we could see
                  Am
The whole of some older birds
G                           Am
Riding to the ground on the falling leaves
G                            Am
Riding to the ground on some falling leaves
Am
One last time
One last time
