The Field Lyrics by Besides Daniel

the Clay the Seed the Stone

2009

[Verse 1]
Lay me down in the field
Where grandpa died
And I'll lay here 'till the poppies
Grow from my side
'Cause men are only grass
We all just fade away
But not until we sow seeds
Into the clay
[Chorus]
Lay me down there
While the sun's high in the sky
Where the grass grows green and high
Ooh
Lay me down there
Where my fathers have gone before
Sent by famine, or by war
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Your fingers wrapped around me
And you cool me down
And I'll lay here as we're breathing
In rhythm now
And you'll hide me in your acres
In fields so green
No gravestones in the soil here
Or choking weeds
Oh no
[Chorus]
Lay me down there
While the sun's high in the sky
Where the grass grows green and high
Ooh
Lay me down there
We'll share a common block of stone
Just don't let me lay alone
Ooh
[Verse 3]
Maybe we'll have babies
And raise a family
And you tell me not to worry
'Cause I will still be me
Well I'll take you to the mountains
I will build a home
And you'll tend to our gardens
Kept in stone
[Chorus]
Lay me down there
While the sun's high in the sky
Where the grass grows green and high
Ooh
Lay me down there
Son, we all must come to die
Me and your momma had our time
Ooh
