Once there were

green fields

Kissed by the sun

Once there were valleys

Where rivers used to run

Once there were

blue skies

With white clouds

high above

Once there were part of

an everlasting love

We were the lovers

who strolled

Through green fields

Green fields are gone now

Parched by the sun

Gone from the valleys

Where rivers used to run

Gone with cold wind

That swept into my heart

Gone with the loves

Who let their

dreams depart

Where are

the green fields

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 this wide world

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 green fields
