FARMER GIRL
Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega
HERE ALL ALONE IN THE CORNFIELD AT NIGHT
THE SKY’S FULL OF STARS
AND THE MOON’S SHINING BRIGHT
IF ONLY I COULD FLY OFF LIKE A BIRD,
FLY AWAY, FLY AWAY, LIKE A BLUE BIRD.
Chorus
I’LL BE DANCER TWIRLING AROUND
AN ACTRESS, A SINGER, A BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
MY FACE WILL BE SEEN IN EVERY MAGAZINE
FROM PARIS TO L. A.
FROM NEW YORK TO BOMBAY
FARMER GIRL, FARMER GIRL, FLY AWAY ! (DREAM AWAY)
MY MA AND PA BOTH WORK HARD ON THE LAND,
I DO MY DAMNEDEST TO LEND THEM A HAND,
I COULD NOT STAND ALL THE STRUGGLE AND STRIFE
FARMER GIRL, FARMER’S WIFE…NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
Chorus
I JUST CAN’T LIVE LIKE A BIRD IN A CAGE
EACH DAY THAT GOES BY SEEMS MORE LIKE AN AGE
INTO THE NIGHT SKY AWAY I WILL FLY
FLY AWAY FLY AWAY LIKE A BLUEBIRD
I’LL BE DANCER TWIRLING AROUND
AN ACTRESS, A SINGER, A BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
MY FACE WILL BE SEEN IN EVERY MAGAZINE
FROM PARIS TO L. A.
FROM NEW YORK TO BOMBAY
ALL THIS I’LL ACHIEVE
CALL ME NAÏVE
BUT I BELIEVE
DREAMS CAN COME TRUE

I've got a feeling that you should know
That we could leave anytime
There's a place I found we could goInto the sun we will hide
Waking up I'm gettin so excited
The air outside is so warm
Forget the city we will reach the country
Right to the sun we will drive
Oh I know...This could be our time / this could be a fine time
I've got a feeling that you should know
That this could be our time
the grass is green we hear the birds are singing into the sun we feel fine
Oh I know...This could be our time / this could be a fine time

Take my hand and dance with me tonight
It's now or never, let's be young and reckless
Take my love and keep it in your heart
Juste a little space will be enough, as long as you don't forget
That all I want is you
Your eyes, your smile, your beautiful mind
I love all of you
Take these words, don't ever let them go
And if you do, I'll come back to you to say it once again
That all I want is you
Your eyes, your smile, your beautiful mind
I love all of you
