The Fields of Yesterday

Let’s walk for awhile
Feel the wind
See the sky,
hear the birds
Feel like we’re alive
again…
Here’s the place
The place that you adore
The little straw bale house you built
When you had nothing left to live for
You came so far
Just to leave it all behind
You were broken
you could no longer touch
you had lost so much
I can hear the angels
and they’re fighting
They are flapping
and beating their wings
And the lonely mermaids
they’re weeping, they’re weeping, weeping
They can no longer swim
The pretty dancer
What is she dreaming of
Is her lover so far away?
Did he die in the fight?
Would he return on his horse?
With roses someday
When you fall down
Into an abyss
Maybe you got pushed
You got tricked
When you have fallen down so long
All you can do is hold on
Let’s walk for awhile
Over the bridge
Down by the river
Over those green fields of yesterday
Flowers in your hair
When we were lovers
Let’s walk for awhile
Just be grateful with all we got
Let’s walk for awhile
Won’t be long
Until we have to
Walk across
Let’s walk for awhile
Feel the wind
See the sky,
hear the birds
Feel like we’re alive
again…

The Dream Hotel

I’m going down
To the Dream Hotel
I’m coming home
To the Dream Hotel
Sweet music it will play
I’ll hear the angels sing
I’ll see Solveig Dommartin
Smiling on her swing
Summers never end
There are no broken hearts
No one ever leaves
The Dream Hotel
I’ll hold my little brown cat
he’ll be purring on my lap
I will talk with my mother
Kiss my beautiful old friend
I will see your face
I will hold your hand
And you won’t cry
you won’t hurt
Because no one dies
At the Dream Hotel
No one ever leaves
The Dream Hotel
I’ll see my favourite lover
She’ll softly kiss my lips
Whisper there was no other
There was nothing like this
Ah c’mon
Saddle up your favourite horse
Ah c’mon
Fill your bags with gold
Ah c’mon
listen to the trumpets blow
Never ever grow old
The lights are on
At the Dream Hotel
I’m going down
To the Dream Hotel
