Greenfields

(The Brothers Four)

Once there were greenfields...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 hope

We were the lovers who strolled through greenfields

Greenfields are gone now...parched by the sun

Gone from the valleys...where rivers used to run

Gone with the cold wind that swept through to my heart

Gone with the lovers who let the dreams depart

Where are the greenfields where 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 is now left for me to say

But I keep on waiting...until you return

I keep on waiting until the day you learn

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

You can't be happy until you bring it home

Home to the greenfields...and bleed once again (?)
