letra de ...nitrogen... - danny saucedo

a process by which nitrogen is returned to the soil: a love song

on the seventh year i let my fields lay fallow just like the torah told me to
but my zeal became fear of a shallow grave for my poor old youth
because i need nitrogen and i don’t want to wait
for the slow working medicine of bacteria to damage the tape
and i need lightning, a thunderclap in recoil
i need lightning, lightning to replenish my soil

on the eighth year my fields were ready for a new rotation of crops
as the dry damaged earth had healed over, now able to accept water drops
but i still needed nitrogen and i don’t wanna wait
for the slow working medicine of bacteria to damage the tape
you are my lightning, a thunderclap in recoil
i need lightning, lightning to replenish my soil

there was a drought and my fields felt the sun’s rays
every morning and every night
coyotes ate up the saplings and i was too tired to fight

and it was disheartening, a harvest without a hue
until i could bring myself into my field
yes i took oxygen right out of your lungs
because it was evident that there was farming to be done

so i say goodnight again cuz it’s getting late
and it takes time for elements to fall right into place
the sky is bright again with the crackling hiss
and i see lightning every time we kiss
