The Fields Of Summer - Papermoon

She was there, sitting on the stairs

Waiting for her groom

In the fields of summer

As he came, whispering her name

She was whisteling a tune

In the fields of summer

She said «I love you more than ever»

As they layed down in the flowers

He said «I do» while he was holding her tight

In the fields of summer that night

Every night, laying by his side

In his arms she cried

In the fields of summer

Then the day came he had to say

«I have to go away

From our fields of summer»

He said: «My brothers will be going to war

And I will follow»

He said: «I'll be back, don’t you cry anymore

I’ll be back before the winter has come»

When the battle was raging

He was shot down on the floor

They were trying to save him

But the fire caught them all

And the letter he had written to her

Was burning before his eyes

It said: «I'll be back on september the third

And I’ll see you in the fields of summer that night»

Winter came, birds had flown away

She was dreaming every day

Of the fields of summer

And the snow was covering the road

Whitening the field

That were green in summer

She said: «I know he’ll be returning»

As she was putting on her make up

She said: «Today I’ll be together with him»

She went out in the snow

And noone ever saw her again
