Story Behind The Song
I grew up in the Midwest, and still live there, and when we were kids, 16...17, we'd go out in the country and explore abandoned farmhouses. I always got the most earie feeling from that....it always struck me as a poignant metaphor....a deserted life...

Lyrics
...the sign said "NO TRESSPASSING"
she slipped on through the gate
down along the shelterbelt
where weeds and thistles wait
and made her way through cornrows
came out the other side
to the old abandoned farnhouse
with the windmill on it's side...
