The Field - Besides Daniel

Lay me down in the field

Where grandpa died

And I'll lay here 'til the

Poppies grow from my side

'Cause men are only grass

We all just fade away

But not before we sow

Seeds into the clay

Lay me down there

While the sun's high in the sky

Where the grass grows green and high

Lay me down there

Where my fathers have gone before

Sent by famine or by war

Your fingers wrapped around me

And you're cooling me down

And I lay here as we're breathing

In rhythm now

And you hide me in your acres

And fields so green

No gravestones in the soil here

Or choking weeds

Lay me down there

While the sun's high in the sky

Where the grass grows green and high

Lay me down there

We'll share a common block of stone

Just don't let me lay alone

Maybe we'll have babies

And raise a family

And you tell me not to worry

'Cause I will still be me

Well I'll take you to the mountains

I will build a home

And you'll tend to our garden

Captain stone

Lay me down there

While the sun's high in the sky

Where the grass grows green and high

Lay me down there

Son we all must come to die

Me and your mama had our time
