Foreign 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.
Someone says la la la la lala
My high flying
High flying bird
My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought i meant her harm
My high flying
High flying bird
Sober in the morning light
Things look so much different
To how they looked last night's
Whispers circulate all day
Their back-stage baby princess passed away
The white walls of your dressing room
Are stained in scarlet red
You bled upon the cold stone like a young man
In the foreign field of death
My high-flying bird
Has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought i meant her harm
She thought i was the archer
A weather man of words
My high-flying bird
Has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought i meant her harm
She thought i was the archer
A weather man of words
But i could never shoot her
My high-flying bird
My high-flying bird...
The white walls of your dressing room
Are stained in scarlet red
You bled upon the cold stone like a young man
In the foreign field of death
