Plow Lights at Dawn

[Verse 1] Before the mail truck, before the school bell rings The field is holding frost in its stubborn strings Your gloves on the wheel, your cap pulled down First gold coming up over the town [Pre-Chorus] The engine hums, the coffee steams Morning arrives in ordinary beams [Chorus] Plow lights at dawn, cut a line through blue Every hard winter leaves a little room for new Turn the soil, take it slow There is a green thing waiting under all this snow Plow lights at dawn, keep shining on We make a way before the day is gone [Verse 2] The fence needs mending by the county road The radio says another weather load But the neighbour waves from the pickup bed And the whole wide sky turns copper red [Bridge] No one said the ground would give You work it loose, you learn to live [Final Chorus] Plow lights at dawn, cut a line through blue Every hard winter leaves a little room for new Turn the soil, take it slow There is a green thing waiting under all this snow Plow lights at dawn, keep shining on We make a way before the day is gone
