Landscape Grown Cold Lyrics


The trees standing naked,
the ground underfoot
is a dark cellar, cool
The battleship skies
so heavy my shoulders droop
it's a lean kind of day
that I sometimes pass throughThe vines are like veins
on the old village wall
where the grass turns to white
and way down the road
I see smoke from another world
in a room I'm not welcome,
removed from my life
I sit in the ditch,
and I dig in the sand
with the heel of my sole
sink down in my coat collar,
back to the wind that blows

insane by myself
in a landscape grown coldthe painted tin sign
flaps back in the wind
where the greenbottles lay
and a window of boards
facing hollow upon the dust,
empty chairs sit in judgment,
accusing the day
I sit in the ditch,
and I dig in the sand
with the heel of my sole
sink down in my coat collar,
back to the wind that blows
insane by myself
in a landscape grown cold

John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song. He also invented his own shuffle tap dance move, and clogged on an amplified piece of plywood while he played and sang.
