Keith Sheehan - The Field lyrics

[ Verse 1 ] He was a soldier’s soldier He fought out a little bolder He said lay me down in fields I’ve roamed God I’m a long way from home [ Chorus ] He still feels the pain The battle’s not behind him Sleep is only but a Gateway to remind him of A world that lost good men And the scars that now define them [ Verse 2 ] He loosened the grip on his mind A lapse of a dangerous kind He said lay me down in fields I’ve roamed God I’m a long way from home [ Chorus ] He still feels the pain The battle’s not behind him Sleep is only but a Gateway to remind him of A world that lost good men And the scars that now define them [ Verse 3 ] His Brothers followed him over the hill Even knowing that some would be killed Now they’ll all be judged by the sins of their past Buried away in the field [ Chorus ] He still feels the pain The battle’s not behind him Sleep is only but a Gateway to remind him of A world that lost good men And the scars that now define them [ Bridge ] He was shot near the heart The end just beginning to start He said lay me down in fields I’ve roamed God I’m a long way from home Shouting lay me down in fields I’ve roamed God I’m a long way from home
