Nanci Griffith: "Fields Of Summer" Lyrics

(Nanci Griffith)

I am fragile in the morning

I grow stronger in the day

I can sprint like a new spring doe

By the fall of night

Love has chased me down

Through the cities and the towns

Until I stood beside the road

And let it pass me by

Like a fool I've missed the rain

'Cuz I was crying

Chorus

Then you are calling

Call my heart awake from years of slumber

And then I'm falling

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer

Can you hold me?

Though I'm inclined to

Leave my home and wander

Can you keep me ...

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer?

Fields of summer

Fields of summer

I am falling

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer

Now that you have caught me

Are you sure you really want me?

Though I'm fragile as December

On your shoulder in the dawn

And when the day has made me stronger ...

Can you satisfy my hunger?

When the night has come

And I would race the moon across the sky ...

Would you chase me through

Those open fields of summer?

Chorus

Can you hold me?

Hold me?

Hold me?

Because I'm falling

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer
