Heart of the Country

A candle burns in the

Heart of the country

The flame fades though

I see to it sadly

It takes me further away

Than I have ever been

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one

And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again

We took this land

And we brought it goodness

It's taken everything

And left only emptiness

I am not broken

Although I have the seeds in me

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one

And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again

I hide my face against the sun

I hide my fear from everyone

But I've had enough of secrets

They're all lies we're scared to tell

I just need someone to be with

I just need to say you fell

There's nothing out here

But me and a whisper

And now it's failing

I won't even listen

I watch the fall and it's

Time that I was leaving too

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one

And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one

And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one

And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again

I wait and the darkness comes

I pray for my only one

And I wonder if you ever

Will see this land again
