Evening Song

My song will rest while I rest. I struggle along. I'll get back to the corn and 
   the open fields. Don't fret, love, I'll come out all right.

Back of Chicago the open fields. Were you ever thereβ€”trains coming toward
   you out of the Westβ€”streaks of light on the long gray plains? Many a 
   songβ€”aching to sing.

I've got a gray and ragged brother in my breastβ€”that's a fact. Back of
   Chicago the open fieldsβ€”long trains go west tooβ€”in the silence. Don't 
   fret, love. I'll come out all right.
