Lyrics

Fertile Land
Craig Sinclair (2006) released independently in 2007-08-26

I’ve been wandering aimless through these years
The portrait of a barefoot lonely soul
With just the flame of ignorance held aloft to light the dark
And held close sometimes to warm me from the cold

And I never knew quite how far I’d strayed
Until my feet touched familiar ground
And I realized I’d walked across a burning desert
To find comfort in the shelter of this town

And finally I’ve found some fertile land
That will take the seeds I’ve got to sew
I sink my roots down deep into this soil
And see what flowers I can grow

And in her backstreets I can feel a warm embrace
But like a good lover she don’t give up her secrets fast
And one day soon I’ll find my way beneath that skin
And hear that sweet voice call me home at last

And finally I’ve found some fertile land
That will take the seeds I’ve got to sew
I sink my roots down deep into this soil
And see what flowers I can grow

And the people of this town
They’re slowly breaking down
These walls that I’ve put up around my heart
I’m still toiling through the valleys
Looking up towards the hills
Well they’re little steps you know but well I’ve made a start
They’re little steps you know but well I’ve made a start
They’re little steps you know but

Finally I’ve found some fertile land
That will take the seeds I’ve got to sew
I sink my roots down deep into this soil
And I see what flowers I can grow
I see what flowers I can grow
I see what flowers I can grow
