The Field

Lay me down in the field where grandpa died

and I'll lay here till the poppies grow from my side

cause men are only grass

we all just fade away

but not before we sow seeds into the clay

lay me down there while the sun's high in the sky

where the grass grows green and high

oooh

Lay me down there where my fathers have gone before

sent by heaven or by war

oooh

Your fingers wrapped around me and you cool me down

and I lay here as we're breathing in rhythm now

and you hide me in your acres in fields so green

no gravestones in the soil here or choking ****s

oh no

Lay me down there while suns high in the sky

where the grass grows green and high

oooh

Lay me down there

we'll share a common block of stone

just don't let me lay alone

oooh

Maybe we'll have babies and raise a family

and you tell me not to worry

cause I will still be me

well I'll take you to the mountains

I will build a home

and you'll tend to our garden Captain Stone

Lay me down there while suns high in the sky

where the grass grows green and high

oooh

Lay me down there

Son we all must come to die

me and your momma had our time

oooh
