Autumn Over The Ridge- A parody of "Water Under The Bridge" by Jars of Clay

V1

I do not live here the way I did when we met.
There are teacups and charred remains on top of my own bed,
But it's only this place where I'll hedge all my bets.
It's still here.

Chorus

I will only stay
'Til the last crop of autumn grows over the ridge.
I will stay
'Til the last crop of autumn grows over the ridge.

V2

There are rhymes means for staking,
And worlds to endure,
And a rent on our souls
When our kin is at war.
And if leaving our freedom
Is worth the walk, I'll walk so much more.

V3

As the tears flowed by,
And they sold my land
While the corn rows stretch out past your hand,
Crumble and fall to the swarms,
We'll struggle to move on.
Autumn arrives,
And it carries our hope and screams away.
But let's stay today.

(Repeat Chorus)
