Once there were green fields kissed by the sun

Once there were valleys where rivers used to run

Once there were blue skies with white clouds high a-bove

f f c e7

Once they were part of an everlasting love

We were the lovers who strolled through green-fields

Greenfields are gone now, parched by the sun

Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart

Where are the greenfields that we used to roam

I^Òll never know what made you run a-way

How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day

I only know there^Òs nothing here for me

Nothing in this wide world left for me to see

But I^Òll keep on waiting till you re-turn

I^Òll keep on waiting un-til the day you learn

f f c am

You can^Òt be happy while your heart^Òs on the roam

f f c e7

You can^Òt be happy un-til you bring it home

am dm am e7 am

Home to the greenfields and me once a-gain
