When The Days Cool Down

[Verse 1] As the days cool down Firewood piled high Under tarps tied down Heavy stones in the ground As the days cool down [Verse 2] In the yard the leaves play Around the tables I have made And the children gather sticks Forts to build out in the thick As the days cool down [Verse 3] Mother calls the ravens three Temptation, doubt, and greed And with heavy hearts they sing Hear harmony begin As the days cool down [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Now the foreman's cut my side An' if I turn I'll come untied Says he feels the debt I'm in Says he'll work me till the end When my days cool down [Verse 5] So I strap the handles down An' throw my weight behind the plow Heaven knows the path is set See the fields bend and stretch As the days cool down [Verse 1] As the days cool down Firewood piled high Under tarps tied down Heavy stones in the ground As the days cool down
