Greenfields
Longing for Lost Love: Echoes of Green Fields
Lyrics
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Refers to a time when fields were lush and vibrant under the sun's influence.
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Describes valleys that once had flowing rivers.
Once there was blue sky with white clouds high above
Mentions a past with clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds.
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

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 waitin' 'til you return

I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
