in the summer of my wedding as the corn burned in the field oh i lay down for my baby and let the sweet smoke stain my heels well i lay there til the midnight when the dogs they run through town and i rose up just to listen and i never lay back down then the morning it came upon me and i set my soul to search from the tall grass down the main road to the stained glass at the church lord my shepherd help me pray though i left my heart to stray though i left my heart untrue i can follow i do i do and i can name them in my dreaming i can set my soul to rest i can chain them to my body let them settle at my breast now see them coming to my wedding where i will teach them not to stray oh they ll carry my salvation oh they ll carry me away
