lyrics

In the corner of some farmer's field
Endless sky above
Two small hands, two sun-browned arms
Two lives undreamed of
He pulls a jack-knife from his shirt
And tucks away his Pez
An "A" then "J" plus "N" and "V"
"Two and two is one," she says

But no stone marks its passing
No faded, plastic rose
No painted cross for the love they've lost
Just four letters on an old fence post

Another sky, another time
Fields for fence and yard
Lives that pass for living
Dreams fallen short by far
But now and then they hear the call
Of something left behind
It wakes them in the early hours
And the summer skies remind

That no stone marks its passing
No faded, plastic rose
No painted cross for the love they've lost
Just four letters on an old fence post

And what of time? What does it take?
A bit of breath, a bit of light
A little bend, a little break

And no stone marks its passing
No faded, plastic rose
No painted cross for the love they've lost

In the corner of some farmer's field
So much the same as then
Two soft hands, two grey heads
Two and two is one again
