Testo Sorrowlessfield

Words & Music: Karine Polwart

I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
I saw you come back to me
I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
You stood under the birken tree
Through the rattle and rain
To my window you came And where I lay silently sleeping
I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
But woke to the sound of weeping

I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
And we lay all day in that meadow
I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
Unburdened by destiny's shadow
I surrendered my skin
Til evening blew in
Upon every joy of creation
I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
But woke to a lamentation

I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field The only one left without sorrow
I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
You said you would see me tomorrow
Then you parted from me
Where the road splits in three
And all of those roads were for the taking
I dreamt last night of a sorrowless field
But woke to the sound of my own heart breaking
