The Fields of Joy Lyrics

Stranger things have happened while i've been wide awake
Step into reality explaining everything
For heavens sake
I can't believe you don't know me by now

If trust were a drug i'd be a junky I know
If weakness took the stage i'd be the star of the show
I hope you know
You still bring tears to my eyes

But I picked up myself
Lived it down
Grabbed a bottle
My sorrows i'd drown
Someone had to find
I weren't no kids toy
So I kept on coming back
Looking for
The field of joy

Mother Always told me you only get what you put in
I wish i'd listened at the time
In life you gotta win
It's stuck on me
Won't make that same mistake again

Life is hard and if i've been here longer than you
Listen up you gotta do the best that you can do
If you turn the other way
You've already lost the game

But I picked up myself
Lived it down
Grabbed a bottle
My sorrows i'd drown
Someone had to find
I weren't no kids toy
So I kept on coming back
Looking for
The field of joy

Look out for yourself
No one's gonna look out for you
Go your own way don't explain everything you do
In this life nothings free
Everything has a price

So child
The last thing I want is to end up at the start
The first thing I want is for you to give me back my heart
But only if you have the time
I wouldn't want to put you out

So i've picked up myself
Lived it down
Don't need no bottle
No sorrows to drown
Someone found that I weren't no kids toy
So I ain't coming back
I'm happy now
In the field of joy
