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
