The Field I Left Behind (Sheep Number 7)

[Verse 1] I woke beside a lonely road Beneath a sky of grey I do not know how I got here Or how I lost my way The grass was tall The wind was cold The world seemed far too wide And somewhere in the morning mist My flock was left behind [Chorus] Oh field of green Oh gentle hill I wonder where you are I miss the gate I miss the tree I miss my shepherd's farm The kings may fight The banners fly The world may fall apart But I still dream of home each night And carry it in my heart [Verse 2] I met a knight who sought a cup He asked me if I'd seen A holy relic made of gold Or something in between I told him I was just a sheep And knew no sacred lore He thanked me for my wisdom then And rode off seeking more 😂 [Chorus] Oh field of green Oh gentle hill I wonder where you are I miss the gate I miss the tree I miss my shepherd's farm [Bridge] The crows speak of a coming war The rivers whisper names Of Morgan Mordred Arthur too And all their royal games But none of them have ever known The thing I understand That every creature wants a home And somewhere safe to stand [Final Chorus] Oh field of green Oh gentle hill I know you're waiting still I hear your voice Across the wind Beyond the distant hill The kings may fight The kingdoms burn The old world may depart But I will find my way back home I know it in my heart [Outro] Baaaa.
