Stubble and Hay Lyrics by Steve Bell

Kindness

2011

49 years I've walked this life
What do I have to say?
Cast it all down in refiner's fire
Nothing but stubble and hay
Stubble and hay, stubble and hay
Nothing but stubble and hay
All I have done while on life's way
Nothing but stubble and hay
Take a dusty track across a barren field
The old till rows never met no seeds
Find a place to lay as the sun gives way
To the dusk falling gently far away
The echo [?] and your day subsides
You breathe the gift deep inside
One man goes east, one man goes west
One does his worst, and one does his best
Meet in the middle, what is their reward?
Nothing but stubble and hay
Stubble and hay, stubble and hay
Nothing but stubble and hay
All I have done while on life's way
Nothing but stubble and hay
The cricket sneers (the cricket sneers)
And the owl regards (and the owl regards)
Night profound
As the hours slip away
Dream a dream of calling
And of other places
Where the night glows bright
With the painted faces
And the danger lies on the ones who dance
All eye to eye, all hand in hand
And do they look to the sky when the glass comes by?
They never need to worry, they never need to cry
And you dream about the love
You want to love, you want to love
And you dream about the life
You want to live, you want to live
And there are prizes for the biggest winners
Roses and rubies and perfumes
The bright young smiles find the banquet room
They can come inside, [?]
Eat all you want, you can pay the bill after
Every drop has been guzzled and there's no more laughter
You look inside but you dare not enter
You back away and you let yourself set
Back to the fire and the stubble and the hay
As the sun rises gently
Such a gift as one more day
49 years I've walked this life
One thing I've got to say?
Remember God in the days of your youth
All else is stubble and hay
Stubble and hay, stubble and hay
Nothing but stubble and hay
Remember God in the days of your youth and
All else is stubble and hay
Remember God in the days of your youth and
All else is stubble and hay
