Fields of My Youth

[Verse 1] I was ten in the fields running wild with the breeze Barefoot in the dirt climbing apple trees Grass stains on my knees No clock No care Just the sun on my face and the wind in my hair [Chorus] Oh the days they fly Like leaves on a restless stream Pieces of time slip through the seams But the echoes stay Like a soft refrain Fields of my youth Forever remain [Verse 2] Fifteen in a short dress Sneaking out past eight The moon was a lantern lighting up my fate Met him by the truck His smile burned bright We kissed to the crickets and held on tight [Prechorus] The stars were whispers The night was ours We were reckless kids chasing shooting stars [Chorus] Oh the days they fly Like leaves on a restless stream Pieces of time slip through the seams But the echoes stay Like a soft refrain Fields of my youth Forever remain [Verse 3] Sixty’s knocking And I’m counting the years The laughter The heartbreak The love The tears What do I take when the past is done Am I whole Was the race I ran one I won
