We used to live just on the outskirts of town When I was a little girl The bright skies and dark forests And the green fields were my home Then we moved away into the city And left the fields of home behind And now when solitude's so hard to find My memories take me back in time Where are my green fields now? Nowhere around So I'll steal away with my memories And in green fields I'll lay me down Now I've got concrete for my front yard And it's the same way out and back But still it fills my heart with happiness To see green grass push through the grass Where are my green fields now? Nowhere around So I'll steal away with my memories And in green fields I'll lay me down Well I guess I share the same time-worn dream With folks in cities everywhere To find a little place on God's green earth And live in peace and quiet there Where are my green fields now? Nowhere around So I'll steal away with my memories And in green fields I'll lay me down I'll steal away with my memories And in green fields I'll lay me down
