  Shore Fields Those beautiful fields that run to the shore. The embroidered edge of the Island dress. Our psychological boundary marker. How many shore fields do we have left? Lyrics Verse One Before we star talkin' Would you do me a favor? Have a look at these old pictures There cracked and faded Torn at the edges But that's the way I'm feelin' tonight Verse Two You see I've been thinkin' About your last offer And what a fair price might be Well I'd pack up tomorrow And move into town If it wasn't for all these memories Chorus: You come in here wavin' all that money around Did you think I was born yesterday? Some things can't be purchased And I have all that I need And I will never sell these shore fields Verse Three Now here's the old man He's the one with the whiskers He was so young back in 1914 But the light of the world was dim And his country was callin' Get into khaki boys fall in Verse Four We hardly knew his face The war still held its own embrace That day he came walkin' up the lane Some wounds you just can't see Like the plough when it runs too deep It's so hard to kill the pain Verse Five The way Grandma told it They went on a picnic With the blanket and a thermos of tea And out on the cape Where the field meets the sky Salt water washed them clean Repeat Chorus Twice End |
