THE WHEAT IS GROWING AGAIN
Fields spilt in the distance from horizon to the doorstep
And carobs and olive and Mount Gilboa
And to its evening the valley succumbs
In beauty never seen before
Chorus:
This is not the same valley,
this is not the same house
You are all gone and you cannot return
The path between the trees, and the eagle in the sky
But the wheat grows again
From the bitter earth the flowers rise
And in the garden a boy and his dog
The room is lit and nights are setting
On all that is in him and in his heart
Chorus:
This is not the same valley,
this is not the same house
You are all gone and you cannot return
The path between the trees, and the eagle in the sky
But the wheat grows again
And all that was and all that might forever be
The sun rose and the sun set again
The songs are sung but how would they be told -
All the pain and all the love
Yes this is the same valley,
yes this is the same house
But you are all gone and you cannot return
And how it came to be, and how it happened,
and how that still
the wheat grows again
