lyrics

The Field Song
Music: Rod Hall
Words: Rod Hall & Kevin Adams

Frost on the ground and a light in the sky
Early to work in the fields go I
Sounds from the farm drifting up to my ears
Mist slowly lifting, the landscape appears
A kestrel is hovering over Gib Ground,
In Park’s Piece the cattle stand, making no sound
Sheep in Big Meadow and cows on the Leys,
Bushey Field, Middle Ground, fine land to graze.


Rooks in the elms, looking down through the trees.
As I plough Lower Woolans and Thistly Piece
I’ve harrowed, I’ve sown, I have reaped and I’ve mown
Days turn to years out here, all on my own.
And still I can picture them in my mind’s eye
Dream I am walking beneath that big sky
I have grown old here, while they stay the same,
I will walk out upon them, I will treasure their names.
