Winter Okra Lyrics

There's nothing colder or more alone

Forgotten and neglected deep in the overgrowth

Than winter okra hanging in the field

Shriveled dark and worthless stiff pods like steel

I feel like winter okra in a frozen field

Laying low under the ice hoping soon to heal

But as I spring across the floor

I'll come back from the edge ready to live some more

I woke up feeling like a discarded rag

In the cold dark hours with a damaged tag

But when the springtime comes around again

Seeds sprout fresh and new for summer pods blackened in the pan

There's nothing colder or more alone

Forgotten and neglected deep in the overgrowth

Than winter okra hanging out there in the field

Shriveled dark and worthless stiff pods like steel

Shriveled dark and worthless stiff pods like steel
