Album: A Coming Of Age [2010]
Author: Andrew Laidlaw
Ride a blue eyed horse far away from home, far away from fear into the fields I go

But my heart crushed beneath your heel, and scattered like ashes upon
Hilly Fields, where you took my heart, ain’t made of steel, it cracks when the sun falls upon
Hilly Fields, but if you asked me now if I would do it all again, how I’d love to
