Greenfields

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 up above

Once they were part of

An everlasting love

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 into my heart

Gone with the lovers

Who let their dreams depart

Where are the greenfields

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 a greenfield

Left for me to see

But I'll keep on waiting till 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 greenfields

And me once again

Come to the greenfields

And me once again
