lyrics

Stricken Fields

on some sad, so lonely, so barren day when we ran upon the place where all this ends & an emptiness begins its cold command/all is sorrowing/all is sand/all is vanishing/beneath your hand/& the bare fields show my want/& the dead fields show my belonging & a love .

the stricken fields are my want / the stricken fields are my love -
all my love .

as we waken like sleep/numbed & troubled, numbed unto the skin/& were lashed so sorrowing/walking from this vision & slowly fading/& I'm powerless in fear/in a guessing game of salt tears/& the bare fields are all my want, all my love .

the stricken fields are my love / the stricken fields are my want -
& all my love .
