Hilly Fields

The day that I first saw your face
I gave it all away
Though you responded with a smile
Over by Turkey Brook
Your hand I took
We made our way on as we talked
Through Hilly Fields we slowly walked

Our hearts and minds became entwined
In perfect harmony
We felt so high we touched the sky
In summer evening light
First love shone bright
Sat on the bandstand down the hill
In Hilly Fields we planned "I Will"

And so we started out as one in tune together
But somehow found ourselves forgetting how to care
For love is fragile like a rose
Needs a tender touch
Those words as sharp as thorns can hurt so much

Then at the crossroads of our time
Each took a different turn
You travelled south I settled down
But I would not forget
Where we first met
Nor where we ended you and I
In Hilly Fields we'd said goodbye

The other day purely by chance
I heard of you again
I had to sit down for a while
And now I walk this place
Your smiling face
Reminds me when we felt the same
By Hilly Fields I found your name
