Bending Blades

Tim O'Brien · Other Songs - Tim O'Brien

Chorus:

Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze

Shining in the sun

Lonely days I keep going to the place

We went when we were young



All I saw was flowers growing

All I heard the three words that you spoke

A blinded heart never knowing that the dream

Would die when I awoke



In those days our lives were simple

I was yours and you were mine

I was wrong to try and hold you tight

Tie you to my side



Chorus



In my heart I long for those days

Though your love has passed me by

Though the hard times beat down on me still

I hold your view up high



Chorus



Chorus



Lonely days I keep going to the place

We went when we were young
