A Long Day In The Field
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.
It's been a long day in the field for us all
Catching balls and dropping balls
It's been a long life in this world
Catching hearts and dropping hearts
Like hearts were meant to bounce
Like hearts were meant to bounce
I'm sure
The wave that you just missed
Could've been the big one
The one that took you there
The sunshine fills the air
It's been a night shift of a life for us all
Gaining friends and losing friends
It's been a cleaner's sort of hours
That's why we buy our flowers
Cos when you smell of shit you love flowers
And the wind that broke your kite
Could've been the big one
To take you out of sight
Keep you snug at night
And it's hard to know just why
Why when you take shit
Should you give shit?
And the wind that broke your kite
Could've been the big one
To take you out of sight
Keep you snug at night
Keep you snug at night
