Fire in the Field

Lyrics

the skyline train leaves me
what happened to the roads we walked?
what was said, what we did, it took us out
no beacon from the ride we sought

there’s my shadow, there it sits on the banks of nowhere
of nonsense and number, day after day

the skyline train goes on
to another set of lovers without the danger
it gives light to their world and takes them there
but for us it’s just a lantern gone out

there’s my shadow
there it sits on the banks of nowhere
of nonsense and number, day after day
not a day gone by, i haven’t trouble my tired eye, for that sky line train

the heavens now ablaze with the marking
steam engines defy gravity
well i want you in my heart again
but that ride you know it’s gone round the bend
