There's a junked out truck stuck in the mud
Down in the valley where the low fields flood
Every spring when the river jumps its banks
A few southern leaves cling to the bough
By the wing or wheel the whole deal's gone south
Only ones left got no place else to go
Everything in ruin now
Ruin now, ruin now
Everything in ruin now
Soon to be renewed
All is still in the chilly night
Save one lone cricket fiddlin' for his life
Sawin' off a shiverin' walls before the frost
And it's all gone to seed, brown expanse
And I'm a-wonderin' where all the innocence went
Will it come back like a red-winged blackbird song?
Everything in ruin now
Ruin now, ruin now
Everything in ruin now
Soon to be renewed
Frost on windows, filligreed
And I could use a little wild card up my sleeve
Just in case old man winter calls my bluff
Oh, it smells like snow and the sky turns black
Full moon cloudy as a cataract
But all I gotta do is make it through these next few months
Everything in ruin now
Ruin now, ruin now
Everything in ruin now
Soon to be renewed
Everything in ruin now
Ruin now, ruin now
Everything in ruin now
Soon to be renewed
