Greenfields

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun

Once there were valleys where rivers used to run

Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above

Once they were part of an everlasting love

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields

Green fields are gone now

Parched by the sun

Gone from the valleys

Where rivers used to run

Gone with the cold wind

That swept into my heart

Gone with the lovers

Who let their dreams depart

Where are the green fields that we used to roam

I'll never know what made you run away

How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day

I only know there's nothing here for me

Nothing in this wide world left for me to see

But I'll keep on waiting until you return

I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn

You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam

You can't be happy until you bring it home

Home to the green fields and me once again
