Verse 1:

Dm D5 Dm C/G

To evergreen fields of my youth i will sing

Bb A

My steps left no footprints behind

Dm C/G

No fruit of the harvest lent weight to my pockets

Bb A

Small knowledge was stowed in my mind

F Dm

Now youth has forsaken this old man

F Dm

My seasons are numbered by three

F Dm

No seeds have been sown in the plowed fields

C/G Dm

No harvest is waiting for me

Verse 2:

Dm C/G

A cripple for life is the fate of the loner

Bb A

No fruit will be borne by his tree

Dm C/G

These foughts pierce my mind while in echoes of memories

Bb A

A young voice too late calls to me

F Dm

Come run through my dream fields,you old man

F Dm

Search beyond your windowsill

F Dm

Go touch my high moutains and valleys

C/G Dm

Come sleep 'neath my evergreen fields
