Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun
 Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
 Once there were blue skies 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 waiting until 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
