Green fields of morning
In the mist of the day
My mind starting wandering
A million miles away
And I see her laughing
And I cannot stay gone for long
The darkness is falling
With a quickening haste
As I wait for the curtain
of silence to wash over me
Her voice in my dreamin'
She's calling my name back home
So far away from home
And I cannot stay
Gone for long
The distance is closing
And I'm on my way
By the first hour of evening
I'll see her face
It's been so long
So far away from home
And I cannot stay
Gone for long
