Lyrics

The Cornfield

Threw you down in the cornfield, bit your lips and tore your clothes
And I left you there, woman you belong to me
Never said I loved you, in the dirt beneath the sky
Never made you cry, you belong to me.

You’re the breath of my body, you’re the taste upon my tongue
You’re the flesh beneath my fingers, you’re the Earth
When she was young

I’m a man in the morning, I’m a beggar by the moon
Gonna die without you soon, you belong to me
You always asked for nothing and I never let you down
You’re the girl upon the ground, you belong to me.

You’re the breath of my body, you’re the taste upon my tongue
You’re the flesh beneath my fingers, you’re the Earth
When she was young

Cry for me baby. Cry for me baby.
Cry for me baby. I have lost my way home

If I was a sailor I would sail to yesterday
If I was a preacher I’d get on my knees and pray
If I was a soldier I’d fight to find a way back to you

Cry for me baby. Cry for me baby
Cry for me baby. I have lost my way home
I have lost my way home

Threw you down in the cornfield, bit your lips and tore your clothes
And I left you there, woman you belong to me
Never said I loved you, in the dirt beneath the sky
I never said goodbye, you belong to me.

You’re the breath of my body, you’re the taste upon my tongue
You’re the flesh beneath my fingers, you’re the Earth
When she was young
