Once there were green fields kissed by the sun 
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run 
Once there was blue sky with white clouds high above 
Once they were part of an everlasting love 
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields 

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun 
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run 
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart 
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart 
Where are the green fields that we used to roam?

I'll never know what made you run away 
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day?
I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see 

But I'll keep on waitin' 'til you return 
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam 
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again
