[Verse 1]

I came upon a boy
Who had gone astray
He moved to the country
And lived there in patterns of disarray

[PreChorus]

Sometimes he would sing
Or if it was spring he would say
I think I'll do my planting today

[Chorus]

Oh my country boy
My hesitant joy
I love you more than the sun in the sky
And the oceans that colour your eyes

[Verse 2]

He lived in a small house
Faded from winter's cold
He'd seen too much darkness
And lived there content to fit to his mold
[PreChorus]

Sometimes he would sing
Or if it was spring he would scold
I must move quickly for I fear growing old

[Chorus]

Oh my country boy
My hesitant joy
I love you more than thе sun in the sky
And the oceans that colour your еyes

[Verse 3]

He spoke of years gone past
Like they were his old friends
He'd seen days like rivers
And lived them in their own sways and bends

[PreChorus]

Sometimes he would sing
Or if it was spring he would send
Letters from his heart trying to make amends
[Chorus]

Oh my country boy
My hesitant joy
I love you more than the sun in the sky
And the oceans that colour your eyes
