Start tearing the old man down, run past the heather and down to the old road
Start turning the grain into the ground, roll a new leaf over
In the middle of the night, there's an old man treading around in the gathered rain
Well mister, if you're going to walk on water could you drop a line my way?
Omaha... Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters it's the heart that matters more
I think you better turn your ticket in and get your money back at the door
Start threading a needle brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
start turning the wool across the wire roll a new life over...
...there's an old man threading his toes through a bucket of rain
hey mister, you don't want to walk on water, you're only going to walk all over me...
...Start running the banner down drop past the color
come up through the summer rain start turning the girl into the ground
roll a new love over in the middle of the day, there's a young man
rolling around in the earth and rain hey mister...
...you know...
