The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid groundThe country mailman muckers as he motors into townThe sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to seeThe way I laughed and the way I cried and the way you greeted meThe ocean, babe, is watered down but these plains are high and dryAnd though you sing your share of dreams, you've never seen me cryThe windshield and the radio play sadly through the nightA crazy blazing falling star just passed me on the rightThe taillights down the highway fade low and out of sightAnd that farmer's dog can only bark but this cold north wind can biteThe ocean, babe, is watered down but these plains are high and dryAnd though you sing your share of dreams, you've never seen me cryThe wind breaks and the watersheds are growing old this yearThe moon breaks in a brand new song while I break in a tearThey say that all good things must end, they say what's done is doneAnd I guess I should be flying cause it's killing me to run
