Lyrics — “Come Back Across the Fields” by @chris70

[Verse 1] You left your red scarf on the millstone By the river where the alder roots run deep I found your note beneath the barley tin Folded small enough to keep [Pre-Chorus] The frost is lifting from the furrows The old road is calling out your name I take the hill with both hands open And let the morning catch the flame [Chorus] Come back across the fields, come home Past the gate and the weathered stone We’ll raise the roof where the rafters bend And keep this road from reaching its end Come back across the fields, come home [Verse 2] Your brother keeps the lantern burning Your mother sets one extra place each night The orchard’s heavy with late apples And the river turns the millwheel right [Pre-Chorus] The frost is lifting from the furrows The old road is calling out your name I take the hill with both hands open And let the morning catch the flame [Chorus] Come back across the fields, come home Past the gate and the weathered stone We’ll raise the roof where the rafters bend And keep this road from reaching its end Come back across the fields, come home [Bridge] If you’ve forgotten every footpath Follow the smoke above the pines There’s a cup beside the hearthstone There’s a place that’s still yours by design [Final Chorus] Come back across the fields, come home Past the gate and the weathered stone We’ll raise the roof where the rafters bend And keep this road from reaching its end Come back across the fields, come home Come back across the fields, come home [Outro] The river knows the way back home
