Concrete Fields

My old school that's closed its doors The once green fields on the concrete floors And the roads are choking full of misery and fear But my vision's getting clearer and my mind it feels so free And the work is hard and the wages are low But the smile's still here and the river's still slowing All I can do is sit here and moan But my heart still bleeds For this place that I call home My boyhood made of dreams of love The happiest of times sitting with my But the bridges, the houses now dominate The and the super schools The breeding grounds of hate But that's one still limping my mind They seem so perfect, so simple and so kind Just mew and my brother, we're kicking a ball The world so close and so beautiful And I got no answers, I place no blame I just feel a longing and I wanna hear your name As I walk and run through these once green fields It's easier to see water's disappeared And the air is getting heavy with memory The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost And the air is getting heavy, the memory The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost Is this your inheritance, is this all that's left The mountains we climbed are now mountains of debt And the air is getting heavy with memory The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost We had joy and we had fun We had seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun And we had joy and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun
