Lyrics
Across The Fields
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well they left then in the morning, a hundred pairs of wings
In the light moved together in the colors of the morning
I looked to the clouds in the cirrus sky and they'd gone.
Across the marshes, across the fields below.
I fell through the vines and I hoped they would catch me below.
If only to take me with them there,
Tell me the part that shinesIn your heart on the wind.
And the reeds blew in the morning.
Take me along to the places
You've gone when my eyes looked away.
Tell me the song that you sing in the trees in the dawning.
Tell me the part that shines in your heart
And the rays of love forever,
Please take me there.
