green fields

sound on & autorun
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 they 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 the cold wind that swept into my heart
gone with the lovers 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
and 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 and me once again
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 they 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 the cold wind that swept into my heart

Gone with the lovers 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 to see

Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
And I’ll keep on waiting ’till the day you learn


You can’t be happy while your heart’s on the roam


You can’t be happy untill you bring it home


Home to the green fields and me once again
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 they 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 the cold wind that swept into my heart
gone with the lovers 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
and 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 and me once again
