lyrics

Polly's of the tired land, a sea of broken bones, her hands are of the working type as lived in as her clothes.
She gets her water from the well, up beyond the bridge. The creek ran dry a year ago, when superstition did.
And she stopped beneath the Devil and the God Tree, to think about the things she never could be
Heartache's never one to stop, when hardship is around. Her husband died before the crops, her children moved to town.
She picks her way along the path, the dappled light refrains. Shadows dance along the ground but the darkness still invades
The bucket's never quite as dry, when the evening comes. She calls her name into the well to hear another voice. The nights are spent beside the fire just feeling for the warmth. A question sits upon her lips, sad and lonely words
