Field Of Bones When everything that you see Brings you pain And everything that you feel Gets to feeling the same Looking for a new deal now But it's the same cliche' Youthful dreams have faded somehow In a field of bones they lay A field of bones they lay Can't quite remember when You lost the strength to try You just know that you were younger then And had significantly less on your mind Except maybe childhood shenanigans Like meeting girls and getting high But you can still visit them In a field of bones they lie A field of bones they lie It's not like you were so happy then In those glory days of long ago But looking back now remembering Memories take on a rosey glow But id you look inside, you'll find It's just the tarnish of time But you can still cherish them From a field of bones they shine A field of bones they shine © 1998 John Mendenhall
