Old Adam

Hem


Old Adam the crow 
He's building a home in your field 
Where bitter weeds grow all around the corn 
Will you be the father 
That drives the thief from your home 
Or let him run wild at your first born 

Now I carried the plow 
To carve out a home in this world 
And I carried the bow to protect the corn 
Summer is over 
My hands are tired and slow 
And I can't stop loving my first born 

Old Adam the crow 
He's flying away from your field 
And you will never know what makes him run 
I dreamed of my father 
Who drove me out of his home 
And I dreamed I've forgiven my wild son
