Yellow Field Reverie

[Intro] [Chorus] The sky fades into gray, As daylight drifts away. Dirt lingers under my nails, And the wind whispers tales Of the boy in a yellow field, Where dreams and memories yield. [Verse] The heavy heads of grain bow low, In the amber twilight glow. I rest my shovel by the gate, Watch the sun and moon debate. My skin is worn, tough and torn, Like the rows of corn I’ve worn. In the silence, I feel the weight, Of years that came and went in wait. [Pre-Chorus] Crickets sing their endless tune, Beneath the rising ghostly moon. The ancient earth pulls me near, In every breath, in every sound I hear. [Chorus] The sky fades into gray, As daylight drifts away. Dirt lingers under my nails, And the wind whispers tales Of the boy in a yellow field, Where dreams and memories yield. [Verse] The Big Dipper lights the sky, A map drawn across the night. Once I dreamed of soaring flight, In the stillness, I took the quiet life. Secrets sown into the soil, Watch the blossoms gently uncoil. In a slower, steadier pace, Nature’s quiet grace. [Pre-Chorus] Insects hum in the meadow's sweep, Witness to time’s gentle creep. I’m a shadow on the hill, A heart that beats and lingers still. [Chorus] The sky fades into gray, As daylight drifts away. Dirt lingers under my nails, And the wind whispers tales Of the boy in a yellow field, Where dreams and memories yield. [Bridge] Am I small or am I vast? A fleeting grain in the hourglass? The universe is wide, profound, But I keep promises to the ground. To the earth that gave me life, Through joy and through the strife. Each seed and stone, a throne of might, In the quiet of the night. [Verse] Sunflowers sleep in quiet rows, Where the coldest river flows. I gaze into the velvet blue, Knowing the path was true. No regrets in these weary eyes, Beneath the cosmic skies. Time is a riverbed, For words left unsaid. [Chorus] The sky fades into gray, As daylight drifts away. Dirt lingers under my nails, And the wind whispers tales Of the boy in a yellow field, Where dreams and memories yield. [Outro]
