Fields Of Juniper Lyrics

The grass underfoot was damp from the rain

Through fields of junipers' blue speckling

Rings of charlotte grew out from the rails

It was here we learnt the wind from the gales

When we rose up to head for our homes

I'd feel as defeated as these beaten roads

I wished you godspeed and watched you fall

Into a darkness you've fallen before

You've fallen before

And there stood a cross in the centre of town

It's shadow lay heavy across the stone walls

You took my hand and said you'd climb

So I'd see you as a martyr that lived in our time

To think for a moment

I'd ever let you go

If you said those words

I'd break down and bawl

I'd curse all the gods

And follow them below

And follow them below

And here's where we stood to hide from the rain

The sky had settled into a stark grey

We'd been discussing the things that we'd do

I use this memory to escape from my gloom

See, sometimes I stare at the distant herds

This feeling has dogged me since my birth

I witness each day as an hourglass thin

A burning ember that flickers within

Now I've got our love

it's a beautiful shapeless thing

If it grew thin

I'd break down and bawl

I'd slay all the gods

And follow them below

And follow them below

Through winter hail

And through summer sun

I always thought these fields were ours

These fields were ours
