Just lately, I've been thinking, how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield, brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
But she's quite safe up far away in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst, upon each other
I can see you sitting, eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice flowing sweetly down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, yeah yeah, like a puppy child
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
But she's quite safe up far away in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst, on each other
If only, I was nestling in the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulders, the windows wide and open
While the songbirds and the sycamore are growing in the valley
Oh, I miss you Amoreena, like the king bee misses honey
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
But she's quite safe up far away in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst, on each other
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
But she's quite safe up far away in her eiderdown
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
But she's quite safe up far away in her eiderdown
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
