Text: Tim O'Brien. Bending Blades.
Chorus:
Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze
Shining in the sun
Lonely days I keep going to the place
We went when we were young
All I saw was flowers growing
All I heard the three words that you spoke
A blinded heart never knowing that the dream
Would die when I awoke
In those days our lives were simple
I was yours and you were mine
I was wrong to try and hold you tight
Tie you to my side
Chorus
In my heart I long for those days
Though your love has passed me by
Though the hard times beat down on me still
I hold your view up high
Chorus
Chorus
Lonely days I keep going to the place
We went when we were young
Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze
Shining in the sun
Lonely days I keep going to the place
We went when we were young
All I saw was flowers growing
All I heard the three words that you spoke
A blinded heart never knowing that the dream
Would die when I awoke
In those days our lives were simple
I was yours and you were mine
I was wrong to try and hold you tight
Tie you to my side
Chorus
In my heart I long for those days
Though your love has passed me by
Though the hard times beat down on me still
I hold your view up high
Chorus
Chorus
Lonely days I keep going to the place
We went when we were young
Tim O'Brien
