Mason Jennings - The Field lyrics

rate me

Every step I take <br />Takes me farther from you <br />Every move I make <br />Reminds me that I’ll always love you <br /> <br />Since you were a child <br />We’ve built our lives around you <br />Now how am I supposed to live? <br />In this world we made without you <br /> <br />(Chorus) <br />Sometimes late at night <br />I go to the field <br />Is that where you are? <br />Are you a shooting star? <br />Can you say my name? <br />Darling can you hear me? <br />Tell me where’s your heart? <br />Now that it’s stopped beating <br />It’s right here <br />It’s right here <br />It’s right here <br /> <br />When you joined the war <br />We were so proud of you <br />You seem so grown up <br />Livin’ life the way we taught you <br /> <br />Then your first letter came <br />It sounded nothin’ like you <br />It took all my strength <br />To keep myself from runnin’ to you <br /> <br />(Chorus) <br /> <br />And it will always be <br />Until the sun dries the ocean <br />And you will always be <br />My little one <br /> <br />If I was the president <br />If I was that man <br />I would walk out with those kids out across the sand <br />If I was the president <br />If I was that brave <br />I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave <br />If I was the president <br />If (my world) turned black <br />I would want no victory <br />I’d just want you back <br />I don’t want no victory <br />I just want you back (4x) <br /> <br />(Chorus) <br /> <br />It’s right here (12x) <br /> <br />(And it will always be)<br /><br />
