Well I own this field,
And I wrote the sky,
And I have no reason to reason with you

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand that I'd never let it go
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand the world does what it does

You never did learn to let the little things go
You never did learn to let me be
You never did learn to let little people grow
You never did learn how to see

But I'd whisper that I love this man,
Now and for forever,
To your soul as it floats out of the window,
To the world that you turned your back on,
To the world that never let you be

And I am lower now, and lower still,
And you did always say that one day I would suffer
Did always say that people get their pay
You did always say that I was going places,
And that you wouldn't have it any other way

But I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like wouldn't let me
But I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like, I needed

And I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like wouldn't let me
And I couldn't turn my back on the world for what I like, I needed

And I shouldn't turn my back on the sweet smelling blackberry stone
