Donnie Munro Fields Of The Young Lyrics

Cold blows the wind
Where the wild flowers fade
Like the days we held
In our hearts while young
But the dark shades of time
Change the forms forever
Where all our fears
Fill the fields of the young
Still stands the air
Where silence is spoken
Lost for a moment
Like shadows on the sand
But our lives journey on
Through this heartbroken valley
To find greater gifts
In the fields of the young
Sing of its sounds The land and the sea
What breaks the heart
Is now easy to feel
But the pain and the joy
Forever in these hills
Where our love knows a place
In the fields of the young
Slow turns the tide
Where dark runs the sea
And our memories fade
Like the shadows on the shore
But my heart feels the surge
Of the deep running river
That carries me back
To the fields of the young.
