All so suddenly

Well, he walked away mid august, Was following the yellow moon; If he had left a letter there, Would've said I won't be back too soon. And not one time did he look back At that house upon the plains; He prayed that those crops would grow And family survived the pain. He passed through the land he knew When he was a much younger man; He walks back and forth across fields As though they were built to his plan. Recalls all the hard work he'd done But with loving family by his side They fell in love with their domain. He did not know the time would come When he'd leave without a goodbye; Thought he'd live to a ripe old age, For the life of him knew not why. Suddenly, now, the clouds rolled in And he took one last look to home; Just when he was lifted up He read his name upon the stone.
