Once there were greenfields
Kissed by the sun;
Once there were valleys
Where rivers used to run;
Once there were blue skies [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 greenfields.
Greenfields 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 greenfields
That we used to roam?
Припев:
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 left for me,
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.
But I'll keep on waiting
Till 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 greenfields
And me once again,
Home to the greenfields
And me once again!
