This Is Deer Country - k**deer lyrics

In the corner of the field the farmer forgets Grows a wildness that forgetfulness bred And the thistle towering over me I will sleep, I will sleep. Thunder in the meadow where the k**deer cry Feigned injury performed for the hungry eyed And the hush that falls from the darkening air Haze on the horizon and the rain it bears You told my father you'd return for me Ere the winter wind set the field to freeze Now the cold has come twice without word of you Not a whisper from the man I was promised to I heard down the river you settled down Wed a yellow haired woman in a satin gown And her belly hangs heavy with a child of yours Hangs heavy with the prize I'd waited for. What evil have I done to account for this? By my love forsaken, by my love dismissed. And what evil must I do to bring reckoning? For my faithfulness given, for my love spent. In the corner of the field the farmer forgets Yellow hair and blood matted to the thistle bed Redemption is the name of the fruit I reap Oh, I will sleep, I will sleep.
