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
