Through the Fields

My father would stand at the back of the church

So he could leave when communion was served

I’d follow my mother through the gaps in the crowd

We sat by the organ, we whispered so loud

And just for a moment

We would remember who had gone

Those who got lost along the way

And just for a moment

We would put down all our guns

When Sunday was for remembering someone

As we walk through the fields of our land

We would all go together hand in hand

As the sun goes down

Just beyond the sea

The time is now

Goodbye from me.

People had gathered from all over town.

The silence so peaceful, the only sound

What we were there for, the time was now

All the tears and the roses that followed you down

And just for a moment

We would remember all you’d done.

And all that you loved along the way.

And just for a moment, we would put down all our guns

When Sunday was for remembering someone

As we walk through the fields of our land

We would all go together hand in hand

As the sun goes down

Just beyond the sea

The time is now

Goodbye from me.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh oh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh oh

As we walk through the fields of our land

We would all go together hand in hand

As the sun goes down

Just beyond the sea

The time is now

Goodbye from me.
