fields of california

from everything that blooms wrecks me by Dao Strom

/

lyrics

take me away out of these
mountains
take me off these snowy ridges
for i am yours my sweet darling
i will haunt you forevermore
in the daytime you might forget
me
but in the night you surely won’t
dear
& she will wonder why your
hands are always so deathly
cold

& the fields of california
aren’t as gold as they claim
though the hills rise up to warn
you soon they’ll carry you
away

like a long-forgotten picture
sewn in the lining of a coat
lives a man who bears no secret
‘cept the one that stole all
hope
from a girl he sees now falling
falling back a thousand times
into the waters of this mountain
river that swirls beneath the
pines
