about

The hard times of olde England, that always will be. Enclosures in the Medieval period saw common land gifted to the wealthy and privileged.You can't beat the system (as it is).

lyrics

They worked the fields dreaming of the hereafter
Underneath the skies a single season from disaster
Out of time there was nothing that they could save
So come the rains they saw their fields wash away

Grown on the seed awakened in the bread
What they'd seen made them wish that they were dead
Now the chains holds them apart again
We left them here and here they will remain

Rivers run wide in the minds, got to let it flow
Lost inside and it's time to let it go, let it go

They worked the fields dreaming of the hereafter
Underneath the skies a single season from disaster

Takes you off on a journey, a journey filled with warm memories. personally it reminds me of being at primary school on the late 70's, musical whispers from songs that you can't explain why it fills you with joy. James Campbell
