lyrics

I've waited for months
through Winter's storms and rain
Soon the sun comes up
and now the work begins

I will swear, sweat, strain
pull, push and rest
The ground is soft and fresh
and now the work begins

Sowing seeds and pulling weeds
Unfolding into action
More than you think and less than it feels
and now the work begins

Sun beams down and all is growing
Rain falls soft upon you
Bees and birdsong fill the air
and now the work begins

You're watering daily because its so dry
but there's hundreds of slugs and you just don't know why
It's all coming ready
It's not going to stop
If you don't eat it now then it's going to pop
Successional sowing was something you missed
so you're frantically packing it into your fridge
and now the work begins

Cut it all down
Dig it all up
Take it all home
Have it for supper
All on your own
or maybe with mates
and now the work begins

Can it or stew it, pickle or brew it
Pack it right up to the rafters
Fill up your stores with as much as you can
and now the work begins

Put the beds to sleep one misty, golden autumn morning
Darker days are on the way
and now the wait begins

...and now the wait begins
