Garnet Rogers - Golden Fields lyrics

Where the dark pines dwindle And the plains begin The highway stretches out like it'll never end See it shine and beckon Like a band of steel Running into the shadows of these golden fields Rain falls in sunlit curtains Far across the land Clouds cast their shadows on the hills Like the shape of God's hand Smell of rain and sweetgra** Fresh earth from the plow Dark furrows revealed The gulls look like angels Above these golden fields I was but a boy here Twenty years a go Staring out this window At this same dark road Heard the night wheel whisper Heard the whine of the wheels Felt all the lure and mystery Off these golden fields Small towns pa** slowly To the left and the right Cities glow like embers Scattered in the night I'm lost in remembering What the years cannot heal Gone now forever From these golden fields Whisky in my coffee Cigarette in your hand Distant voices haunt us On the radio band Watching for the morning Your hands upon the wheel We are young forever In these golden fields I stopped the car this morning To give my eyes a rest Heard the night wind falter Stand still, try to hold its breath No lure now, no mystery No secret revealed Just the cry of the nightbirds Above these golden fields
