In Peterborough County there's a village in a valley
C G F C
Me, I have a farm at the top of the hill
F C G F G F
You can have your city streets and your backyards and your alleys
C G F C
Me, I have these green fields and I always will
G C G C
And I married out of high school to a girl I knew forever
G C F
And we settled in together and three children came
G C G C
And the life that we were living, was forgive and be forgiven
G F C
But whenever I saw sunshine, she could only see rain
F C G F G F
Left me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me
C G F C
And I felt myself sinking like the setting sun
F C G F G F
And the sky was like the ocean, pouring down around me
C G F C
I used to be so proud and I was all undone

So I kept on working my land, and I held on with both hands
C G F C
And I watched the seasons turning in the sky above
F C G F G F
And I worked beside my father and we bent our backs together
C G F C
And I wondered would I ever find someone to love
G C G C
But when I was good and ready, when I stood up strong and steady
G C F
Love came with the letters in the morning mail
G C G C
And I knew that I had found her when I put my arms around her
G F C
When I see her now in the morning, how that sunrise pales
F C G F G F
Leaves me standing in the cornfields, with the dry land all around me
C G F C
And I feel myself rising like the morning sun
F C G F G F
And the sky is like the ocean, wide and blue and rolling
C G F C
And I know that in my own heart, she's the only one
