Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You came in with the harvest, I was packing up to leave

Two worn shirts in a duffel, one more promise up my sleeve

We talked beside the grain bins till the county lost the sun

You said, "Maybe in another life," and I said, "Maybe this one"

[Pre-Chorus]

But your mother needed tending, my brother called from out west

We were both trying to be good men, doing what we thought was best

[Chorus]

We fell in love at the wrong time

With a train ticket burning in my hand

You had a house full of reasons

I had a road I couldn't understand

Now every year when the corn turns gold

I hear your name in the harvest wind

We fell in love at the wrong time

And I don't know if right time comes again

[Verse 2]

I saw you down at Miller's, wearing silver in your hair

You asked me if I married, I said, "No, I never got there"

You smiled like you remembered every word we left unsaid

Then your husband waved from the truck, and I watched you turn your head

[Pre-Chorus]

There are lives we keep on choosing, there are doors we never try

Some goodbyes don't end a feeling, they just teach it how to hide

[Chorus]

We fell in love at the wrong time

With a train ticket burning in my hand

You had a house full of reasons

I had a road I couldn't understand

Now every year when the corn turns gold

I hear your name in the harvest wind

We fell in love at the wrong time

And I don't know if right time comes again

[Bridge]

If I'd stayed, would you have followed?

If you'd asked, would I have known?

Two brave hearts, two scared young men

Still wondering what we might have grown

[Final Chorus]

We fell in love at the wrong time

But I never called it a mistake

Some loves are built for keeping

Some are only ours to ache

And every year when the corn turns gold

I bless the place where it began

We fell in love at the wrong time

Still the best thing that I never had

[Outro]

You came in with the harvest

I was packing up to leave

Maybe in another lifetime

You and I don't have to leave
