Mason Jennings - The Field lyrics

Every step I take takes me farther from you Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you Since you were a child we built our lives around you How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you? Sometimes late at night I go the field Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star? Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me? Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating? It's right here, it's right here, it's right here When you joined the war we were so proud of you You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you Sometimes late at night I go the field Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star? Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me? Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating? It's right here, it's right here, it's right here And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean And you will always be my little one If I was the President, if I was that man I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand If I was the President, if I was that brave I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave If I was the President and my world turned black I would want no victory, I'd just want you back I don't want no victory, I just want you back
