"Man In The Field" lyrics

There's a man in the field
With a candle in hand
And he walks all the hills
And he talks to the land
But when you call out to him
He disappears
But I know he's there still
The man in the field

There's a man in the field
I once knew him close
But now I only feel the chill of his ghost
And I used to be who he trusted most
Now I don't know how he feels
The man in the field

Oh, yeah, he set that old house on fire
Oh, the place I grew up as a child
Oh, his mind and the land grew wild
But I'm searching still for the man in the field

There's a man in the field
And I've seen him cry
I've lost count of the times
That I've told him goodbye
But I knew he was gone
By the look in his eye
No, I know I can't heal
The man in the field

There's a man in the field
And he's stuck in the past
And he don't understand
That don't nothing last
If he was more of a man
He'd give all the love back
But he robs and he steals
The man in the field

Oh, yeah, he set that old house on fire
Oh, the place I grew up as a child
Oh, his mind and the land grew wild
But I'm searching still for the man in the field

There's a man in the field
And he's lost in between
The moon and the sun
The dead and the living
And if you listen close
To the song of the wind
He's singing with the hills
The man in the field

But I know he's there still
The man in the field
The man in the field
The man in the field
