letra de fence posts and stones - phyllis sinclair
a weathered old farmhouse
a falling down barn sit silent on the prairie
where children once played
apple pies made to feed the field-tilling weary
but rain, dust and snows, and forty belows
not to mention the lure of the cities
left them alone, there in the cold
with only the fence posts and stones
t’was here long ago, my forefathers sowed hope in a young growing land
turned brush and pulled trees, made their hands bleed though the soil was littered with sand
but courage they found with each post in the ground
each stone they pulled from the clay
to build a new home, where peace could be sown
among their fence posts and stones
fence posts and stones live in my bones
each one tells a story to me
of grandfather’s toil on this brown prairie soil
among these fence posts and stones
those who come by here don’t know what i feel, just another old farm house they see
but i see my granddad when i was a young lad
looking down from his tractor at me
all day we’d work on in the hot burning sun
sowing oats or barley or hay
this place is my home, i’ve no need to roam
away from these fence posts and stones
fence posts and stones live in my bones
each one tells a story to me
of grandfather’s toil on this brown prairie soil
among these fence posts and stones
time has marched on now, i stand here alone looking out on a rich field of green
the fence posts that stand, the stones on the land pay homage to grandfather’s dream
it’s here i was born and its here i will die
its lifeblood runs through my veins
and when i’m called home, just bury my bones below these fence posts and stones
fence posts and stones will live in my bones
each one tell a story of me
of love lost and won, when my day is done
among these fence posts and stones
so when i’m called home just bury my bones
below these fence posts and stones
below these fence posts and stones
a weathered old farm house, a falling down barn, sit silent on the prairie
