[ti:Fallow Way] [ar:Jimmy Webb] [al:Tribute To Judy Collins - Born To The Breed] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Fallow Way - Judy Collins/Jimmy Webb [00:06.77]I will learn to love the fallow way [00:11.91] [00:12.84]When winter draws the valley down [00:18.56]And stills the rivers in their storm [00:23.12] [00:24.12]And freezes all the little brooks [00:28.66] [00:29.65]Time when our steps slow to the song [00:34.08] [00:35.29]Of falling flakes and crackling flames [00:40.23] [00:40.89]When silver stars are high and still [00:45.59] [00:46.63]Deep in the velvet of the sky [00:51.96] [00:52.59]The crystal time the silence times [00:57.84] [00:58.35]I'll learn to love their quietness [01:03.24] [01:04.21]While deep beneath the glistening snow [01:09.40] [01:10.22]The black earth dreams of violets [01:15.61] [01:16.13]I'll learn to love the fallow way [01:23.35] [01:29.78]I'll learn to love the fallow way [01:34.64] [01:35.84]When all my colors fade to white [01:40.62] [01:41.48]And flying birds fold back their wings [01:46.38] [01:47.08]Upon my ancient wonderings [01:52.27] [01:52.84]The sun has slanted all her rays [01:58.68]Across the vast and harvest plain [02:03.43] [02:04.29]My memories mingle with the dawn [02:10.00]I dream of joyful vagabonds [02:14.86] [02:15.78]The crystal times the silence times [02:21.10] [02:21.74]I'll learn to love their quietness [02:26.85] [02:27.61]While deep beneath the glistening snow [02:32.87] [02:33.59]The black earth dreams of violets [02:38.66] [02:39.88]I'll learn to love the fallow times [02:46.95]No drummer comes across the plains [02:52.10] [02:53.40]To tell of triumph or of pain [02:58.46] [02:59.56]No word of far off battle's cry [03:04.77] [03:06.08]To draw me out or draw me nigh [03:16.88] [03:27.24]I will hear the song of root and seed [03:32.90] [03:33.49]Beneath the ice in frozen ponds [03:38.44] [03:39.23]And slumbering in winter's folds [03:44.18] [03:45.07]Their dreams of green and blue and gold [03:50.14] [03:50.78]I will learn to love the fallow way [03:55.61] [03:56.61]And listen for the blossoming [04:01.34] [04:02.17]Of my own heart once more in spring [04:08.87]As sure as time as sure as snow [04:13.68] [04:14.53]As sure as moonlight and the stars [04:19.73] [04:20.39]The fallow time will fall away [04:27.01]The sun will bring an April day [04:32.39] [04:33.25]And I will yield to summer's way
