flowerfields
verse i
it's a carnal cage
a knee-jerk reaction
seems to fade away in my loneliness
but on sunny days
pulses, strong in the sweet breeze
glowing skin and hair
are like flower fields

verse ii
i feel like a knight, in expensive sunglasses
and stylish jeans
i hope they notice me
their attention feels like a
warm ray of sunshine
in my cloudy life, it's a bit of hope
verse iii
but on days here and there
with the wind in my hair
looking on to the plains or the mountains
i hardly believe this thing called life
verse iv
i feel so empty
all these years fly by
now who am i
lust could never fill me
love is so hard to find
bridge
i should get a grip on these racing emotions
shake the longing out
be content with life
do the grown-up thing
and go back to college
put the art away
it's a silly dream
verse v
but after thirty years
if i've sat at a desk every day
making piles of money
and living in a spacious home
will i be able to live with myself
and will i feel like i've made a difference
in the ocean of all humanity
outro
so little time to live life
i'll let my heart lead
so many paths
if i fall through the cracks
at least i will have lived
most don't
