It's been said that a picture says a thousand words. Today I received an email of royalty free photos that I subscribe to. This picture struck me and inspired this song.
lyrics
white dress innocence under thunder skies
vulnerable and ruminant
displaced by lies
forgiveness comes so hard in the face of crimes revealed
she walks it off in fields
holding hands
walking slow
singing songs we used to know
before the world
came down
are the memories real
or did they steal
everything you held so dear
before the world came down
He holds his head in his hands
as the veil is pulled from the grand charade
it’s all a stage the world he’s known
he walks it off in fields
holding hands
walking slow
singing songs we used to know
before the world
came crumbling down
are the memories real
or did they steal
everything you held so dear
before your world came down
Vulnerable and Ruminant
have crossed their paths
they sit and talk in fields
remember how things used to be
long before we came to see
and then the world came down
I’ll hold your hand
we’ll walk the miles
will sing new songs and learn to smile
we’ll leave the world behind
everything that we hold dear
has not been lost
it’s all right here
in fields
A fantasy for you and me
just close our eyes and we will be
in fields
