about

While on tour in England, traveling by rail, I can not help but see the connection fields have with so many aspects of our lives, from childhood’s games, to passionate strolls, to practice areas for drills and even use as fields of war. How nice would it be to experience those fields of youth once again, if only for a moment.

lyrics

Fields of Dreams and Glory


Where are the boys who used to run
On fields of dreams and glory
Where are those days spent in the sun
On fields of dreams and glory
Those games of youth we’d laugh and despair
The skinned-up knees; the wind in our hair
Youth shone on all we deemed precious and dear
On those fields of dreams and glory

Remember when our hearts were full
On fields of dreams and glory
Passion blazed within our souls
On fields of dreams and glory
Hand in hand as we walked along
‘Neath shaded lanes with hearts on the run
And thrushes joined in love’s tender song
On those fields of dreams and glory

Then one cold spring brought the rain
To fields of dreams and glory
Our lives would never be the same
On fields of dreams and glory
Heads held high as we marched along
But open hearts have so much to learn
For some of us would never return
From those fields of dreams and glory

I walked the park just yesterday
Near fields of dreams and glory
I stood and watched young children play
On fields of dreams and glory
Thinking back on days we used to share
Those carefree times and the wind in our hair
And I wish for one last moment to spare
On those fields of dreams and glory
