about

an outtake from "Mojave" (for those keeping score, this was originally slotted to be just before "Dance Skeletons Dance". It features timpani, fiddle, banjo, nyckelharpa and a parade of hurdy gurdys. It also features a spoken word outro of "Lenore" by Edgar Allan Poe.

lyrics

Come fields of green
Beneath a moon filled sky
Winds through the trees
That blow a woeful sigh
Hearts torn asunder
Oh my hunger

Come fields of green
Where love consumes us whole.
Captured between
The yearning and the soul
Abide in the umber
Earthen slumber.

Leaving thee wild for the dear child,
That should have been thy bride.
For her the fair, the debonair,
that now so lowly lies.
The life upon her yellow hair,
but not within her eyes.
