Field of sorrow

How many times

Can I slip the noose

How many times

Will they cut me loose

A crooked road

A crooked mind

Until all is left behind

Take me back to that place

The place where I knew peace

That oh so lonely space

So the pain will finally cease

This winding creek

I follow

Leads me down to a field

The field of sorrow

Forsaken and forlorn

My face red with shame

Weathered and worn

But I’m the only one to blame

As smoke rises in the morning

The hazy sun will fade

Cold wind without warning

A chill sadness in the shade

Take me back to that place

The place where I knew peace

That oh so lonely space

So the pain will finally cease

This winding creek

I follow

Leads me down to a field

The field of sorrow

As the mountains burn

Burn down to the marrow

Take me to the field of sorrow

I hope I can find solace

I pray I can find my way

So this pain will pass

With the dying of the day

Down to that field

The field of sorrow
