Neal Casal - Hands On The Plow lyrics

rate me

There is nothing I can say to you now

of all the years that passed away

with your hands on the plow

Can't you see that they're gone

Can't you see that they're gone

20 long years down the line

was all that you had to show

a trail of coaldust left behind

in the rain and the snow

You had to lay your body down

You had to lay your body down

on a homeground

You've always talked about the wind

and what a friend it could be

They'd never hear from you again

and though it's hard to believe

You had to bring your brother home

You had to bring your brother home, oh yeah

It was always blood and stone

That brought you to her door

on a ship so far from home

with only love as the law

She's all you need to carry on

She's all you need to carry on

oh, carry on
