Winter Wheat (feat. Sophie Janke)

My baby's gone up north, yeah she's gone to work away I spend a little time pondering me and mine, how we used to spend out days Ratting around the harbour front, and climbing up the grain Lord, those memories whisper in my ears at night just like freight trains And we'd find the spot where the wind did stop, and both our hearts as well Farm girl from Ontario has gone and put me in a spell And the steam would rise from coffee cup, but now it's sitting all cold on my bedside table And I'm hoping that she's sleeping on the plane And I'll be home in December babe, you know it comes so soon Then we'll get drunk, fight and shout, and dance under the moon Even in the dark your hair is golden like the wheat In the cold our breath will linger close oh what a sweet sweet treat She said she's feeling strange, and she says she don't know why I spend my evenings walking, staring up at the sky And when I get a chance I always look towards the west And in the stars I see her eyes and I feel it in my chest And I'll be home in December babe, you know it comes so soon Then we'll get drunk, fight and shout, and dance under the moon Even in the dark your hair is golden like the wheat In the cold our breath will linger close oh what a sweet sweet treat And I'll be home in December babe, you don't have to worry it'll be okay Then we'll get drunk, and dance under the moon And even in the dark your hair is bright and golden Just like the winter wheat In the cold our noses get so close oh what a sweet sweet treat
