The fields taught me how to sing Wheat in the autumn and timothy in spring They know me, oh they've shown me Run, run, run, oh that's how they've grown me I won't deny it I won't despise it The sidewalks taught you how to think Step out either swim or sink Here, where your world it begins And here, oh my dear Where it may end I won't deny it I won't despise it I want to walk in the air of a mountain's shadow The fields I run are grassy meadows I won't deny it I won't despise it
