about

Inspired by The Fields, by Kevin Maher.

lyrics

In a room faced with you
In a room faced with life
Not sure what to do this time
This time
And time is all we ever have
So I sang
Sang the only song I had
I gave it all I got
Had nothing to loose
And like a leaf just dropped
The breeze takes me across
The Fields
And takes these words and them fly
This song and I
Past the place, where my life once laid
And the Universe is wide
And when I open my eyes
The room and I
Stand silent and amazed
For the child I am
A mans song I sang
And it carried me
Carried me away
Away I ran and away I stayed
I’ll be home mam, on a windy day
For though your child I am
A mans song I sang
Your child I am
A mans song I sang
And it carried me away
