Field Of Mars

The Church · Other Songs - The Church

It's a long way home from the Field of Mars

Distant, alone beneath the platinum stars

And I turn to look and I'm never any closer

Only just the rain makes the skin feel colder

All my life seems so far away



The air is soft in the Field of Mars

Tears and loss feed the overgrown grass

And I have to leave, but I never seem to go

Only more sad clouds where autumn winds will blow

All my dreams seem so long ago



Oh, Field of Mars



Time is past in the Field of Mars

Grief won't last in the departing cars

And I call her name, but she never, ever hears

And I call again to the cruelty of the years

Oh, my love, she's so far away



Oh, Field of Mars
