Locust Years Songtext
von Kate Campbell

He built his life
Wwith his hands
Put all he had
Into the land
They came from nowhere
On a cold dark wind
The harvest disappeared
But he survived
The locust years


It hurt to hear
her baby cry
Worked two jobs
To get by
Convinced herself
Sshe never needed a man
Holding back the tears
She survived
The locust years

When I lay next to you
In your arms
I know the world
Can do us no harm
And like the thorns
Protect the rose
I am safe with you

I know a place inside a dream
Where rivers
Run through fields of green
A quiet valley
That never lives in fear
I will meet you there
If we survive the locust years
If we survive the locust years
