She's Barren

She's barren, she's dry
She's on everybody's side
She's buried our child
It's spirit fell outside
She's married, she's mine
She cries honey down her eyes
She asks me to muffle her cries
I couldn't be more happy to oblige

She's barren, she's tried
She's passed all the tests we supplied
Blameless but still we find
Best away come harvest time

Natural insult paints a ring round her eyes
And we're grateful, we're respectful
That's it's spared us the blight
She can follow at a distance
And we won't put up a fight
We drink the same filthy water
Beneath the same forgiveless sky
