Farmer Barnaby - Pipe-Eye

Wakes up

Morning

Farmer Barnaby, Farmer Barnaby

Plows the fields and lives a simple life

Fetch the

Teapot

From the kitchen sink, where she used to wait

Now she’s gone;

a breath upon the wind

Sits

At the end of his bed

In the middle of the night

He’ll still dream of his wife he misses every day

Her eyes

Look back

From the mantelpiece in the picture frame

Watches over him, he’ll not forget

Wakes

In the middle of the night

Did she really come back?

She’ll be waiting with the tea on the other side

Come home

Late night

Thought she said goodbye on the other side

Thought he saw her silhouette again

She was

Standing

By the kitchen sink in the morning light

Fetch the tea before you leave again
