Upon Hilly Fields

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 

I took the road less run, took a lover on a long, cold lonely night and now sorrow, sorrow wears me like a badge 

 

But my heart was yours to steal, as long as the grass grows upon 

Hilly Fields, where you took my arms and taught them how to feel 

How I loved you 

 

Put my faith in words, bet my life on harmony and when the bubble burst I felt the pain wash over me

See how the branches bow, a sad reflection of a love that weighed too much and toppled

Strangled by its wanderlust 

 

But my heart was yours to steal, as long as the shadows upon 

Hilly Fields, where you took my arms and taught them how to feel 

How I loved you 

 

Sunset and fields turn sepia, dusk settling deep in your arms, how could I come to any harm? 

 

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
