Songtext von The Fields We Know

Long years ago I traveled Upon a road that led me To fields of battle far from home And that is where you’ll find me Though I don’t know why They say the war is over They say we are at peace now They say I should be heading home But I have lost my way now Though I try and try At the end of a winding lane Where sunlight paints the meadows Where winter seems a distant memory There is a safe, familiar home The table’s set, the bed is turned And standing there, the girl I long to see She waits for me Do not cry for me my friends I’m not among the fallen I’ve got some scars as you can see But I’m alive as any man could be I won’t complain I climb down in the trenches still Or walk the battered roadsides I search for relics of the war In craters on the hillsides Where my friends were slain At the end of a winding lane Where sunlight paints the meadows And every tree is etched in memory My home is over there you see And one day I will find it And see again those smiles that used to be Only for me The grass is growing green upon the fields The sun, a shining glory in the sky But I went dark, and I’ll be having none of that And so the days wear on, and so the days wear on
