Beyond the Farm

Beyond the farm, you will always be a stranger
You will face all kinds of dangers and for what?
Beyond the farm, you'll be locked inside forever
And you will not feel the sunshine or the rain or my touch
Beyond the farm, you think you'll be discovered
And your dreams will run like a herd to the oasis of your heart
Beyond the farm, you think you'll never need a bandage
And your hands will not be branded by the proof you've done your part

You're just a girl, so you can't see
The way the world turns out to be
A place where you can love, but you can't trust
Sometimes bad things happen to the best of us

Beyond the farm, your postcards send me reeling
Hard to believe the places you've seen since you left me
Back on the farm, the horses won't eat their hay
Ducks and chickens, they won't lay and I miss you with every breath

You're still my girl
Have you seen the world has turned out to be
A place where you can love, but you can't trust
Sometimes bad things happen
Sometimes bad things happen

You're still my girl
Have you seen the world has turned out to be
A place where you can love, but you can't trust
Sometimes bad things happen
Sometimes bad things happen
Sometimes bad things happen to the best of us
