These castle walls are finished at last

Will they hold out the elements or just the past

Bury it all out in the yard

With the master dead and planted deep

Who can possibly care for these tired sheep

I can’t plow these fields alone

I can’t bring the harvest home by myself and myself alone

These castle walls are finished at last

Will they hold out the elements or just the past

And bury it all out in the yard

Down by the pond and the old livestock
