From the recording THE GHOST OF IT ALL

Lyrics

Tonight I’m thinking
About somebody that I used to know
Sometimes it happens when
You hear a song and then off you go
Thinking back to a time and place
And to the promise that you thought was in their face
Now all you have is a song to hum along
Love still comes over me
And people still believe
Hearts break and stars fall
On memories of an afternoon with the girl in the field
And every summer
The sun comes up and it warms the ground
And that shadow in your eyes
Well it’s only me as I lay you down
Wasn’t that a time for us
Giving everything we had except for trust
Now all that’s left in the field is snow and dust
Love still comes over me
And people still believe
Hearts break and stars fall
On memories of an afternoon with the girl in the field
Lately I feel lucky
To feel this way at all
All we have is a photograph to show
We came so far and still had no where to go
And love will still come over me
Now matter how much I would like to grieve
And people suffer but they still will believe, believe
Heart’s will break but they will heal
And stars will fall we know it’s part of the deal
Your memory is what is real with the girl in the field
Oh memories of an afternoon with the girl in the field
