Fallow Way Jimmy Webb

[Verse 1]
I will learn to love the fallow way
When winter draws the valley down
And stills the rivers in their storm
And freezes all the little brooks

[Verse 2]
Time when our steps slow to the song
Of falling flakes and crackling flames
When silver stars are high and still
Deep in the velvet of the sky

[Chorus]
The crystal times, the silent times
I'll learn to love their quietness
While deep beneath the glistening snow
The black earth dreams of violets
I'll learn to love the fallow way

[Verse 3]
I'll learn to love the fallow way
When all my colors fade to white
And flying birds fold back their wings
Upon my ancient wanderings

[Verse 4]
The sun has slanted all her rays
Across the vast and harvest plain
My memories mingle with the dawn
I dream of joyful vagabonds
