Man In The Field

There's a man in the field

With a candle in hand

And he walks all the hills

And he talks to the land

But when you call out to him

He disappears

But I know he's there still

The man in the field

There's a man in the field

I once knew him close

But now I only feel the chill of his ghost

And I used to be who he trusted most

Now I don't know how he feels

The man in the field

Oh, yeah, he set that old house on fire

Oh, the place I grew up as a child

Oh, his mind and the land grew wild

But I'm searching still for the man in the field

There's a man in the field

And I've seen him cry

I've lost count of the times

That I've told him goodbye

But I knew he was gone

By the look in his eye

No, I know I can't heal

The man in the field

There's a man in the field

And he's stuck in the past

And he don't understand

That don't nothing last

If he was more of a man

He'd give all the love back

But he robs and he steals

The man in the field

Oh, yeah, he set that old house on fire

Oh, the place I grew up as a child

Oh, his mind and the land grew wild

But I'm searching still for the man in the field

There's a man in the field

And he's lost in between

The moon and the sun

The dead and the living

And if you listen close

To the song of the wind

He's singing with the hills

The man in the field

But I know he's there still

The man in the field

The man in the field

The man in the field
