Story Behind The Song

Sting has his "Fields Of Gold, Bruce Hornsby has his "Fields of Gray, Boz now has his "Fields Of Green". Literally, my concept was to write something in their caliber as they are true mentors of mine.

Song Description

I guess you could say a man is getting on in years and is looking back at his life and remembers how much he loved his woman.

Lyrics

Oh dawn has come, I can feel the wind
The auburn sky no longer warms my skin
But before I close my eyes to sleep
I dream of our love and begin to weep

Oh how I felt when you took my hand
And through those fields of green we ran
You fell into my arms
Where you felt no harm
For so many years and years and years

Oh how love was in the air
Butterflies flew from here to there
Daisies grew so fresh and new
And I was there, there with you
In those fields of green

Morning sun glazed over the blades so thin
Under arms of oak time is where'd we begin
Your eyes gave me the words I had to hear
A promise to which we would both adhere

Oh how love was in the air
Butterflies flew from here to there
Daisies grew so fresh and new
And I was there, there with you
In those fields of green

Oh this clouded mind
Needs the relief of rain
To somehow relieve this pain
Roll in the thunderclouds
Then hold still on this scene
It's you and I in those fields of green

And oh how I felt when you took my hand
And through those fields of green we ran
You fell into my arms
With no cause for alarm
For so many years and years and years

Oh for so many years and years and years and years
This love was like a dream
We lived our lives together in those fields of green
