Lyrics:

The farmer's wife is taken aback,
taken aback by an empty tract.
The farmer's wife is taken aback, taken aback, taken aback -
seeing how people run,
fleeing with the setting sun.
A ruin is what a city did become.
And the dream faded soon,
faded soon by the light of the moon.

The Farmer's Wife takes the time to speak to the empty streets.
The Farmer's Wife takes the time to speak,
and she says,
The ones who loved you -
The ones who loved you -
The ones who loved you -
Where are they gone?
Who cared & thought about -
Who cared & thought about-
Who cared & thought about you -
Where are they gone?
Gone, gone,
they faded soon by the light of the moon.

The mighty are fallen,
and the proud brought low,
when the visions of the past are thoughts the heirs don't know.
The mighty are fallen.

The Farmer's Wife, she's taken aback.
She's taken aback, empty tracts.
What the old ones know -
What the old ones know -
What the old ones know -
The young ones don't.
What the lover knows -
The lover knows -
The lover knows -
The stranger won't.
Faded soon by the light of the moon.

The mighty are fallen,
and the proud are brought low,
when the visions of the past are thoughts the heirs don't know.
The mighty are fallen.

Through the years the Law is unchanged.
The land is a loan Life will reclaim.

The farmer's wife is bigger than life,
bigger than life with a carving knife.
The Farmer's Wife is bigger than life,
bigger than life with a carving knife.

Seeing how the people run,
fleeing with the setting sun.
A ruin is what a city did become.
Left overnight, overgrown by noon -
Left overnight, overgrown by noon -
Left overnight, overgrown by noon -
Left overnight, overgrown by noon -
Life leaps out of the ground,
out of the ground in the empty town.
