The Sunken Lands Rosanne Cash

[Verse 1]
Five cans of paint
And the empty fields
The dust reveals

[Verse 2]
The children cry
The work never ends
There's not a single friend

[Chorus]
Who will hold her hand
In the sunken lands?

[Verse 3]
The mud and tears
Melt the cotton bolls
It's a heavy toll, oh-oh

[Verse 4]
His words are cruel
And they sting like fire
Like the devil's choir, oh-oh

[Chorus]
But who will hold her hand
In the sunken lands?
