There's a man in the filed with a candle in hand And he walks on the hills and he talks in the land When you call out to him, he disappears But I know he's there still, the man in the field There's a man in the field, I once knew him close But now I only feel the chill of his ghost And I used to be who he trusted most Now I don't know how it feels for the man in the field Oh-oh, oh When he set that old house on fire Oh-oh, oh The place I grew up as a child Oh-oh, oh He's mine and the land grew out But I'm searching still For the man in the field There's a man in the field and I've seen him cry I've lost count of the times that I told him goodbye But I knew he was gone by the look in his eye No, I know I can hear the man in the field There's a man in the field and he's stuck in the past And he don't understand that don't nothing last If he was more of man, he'd give all the love back But he robs and he steals, the man in the field Oh-oh, oh When he set that old house on fire Oh-oh, oh The place I grew up as a child Oh-oh, oh He's mine and the land grew out But I'm searching still For the man in the field There's a man in the field, he's lost in between The Moon and the Sun, the dead intervene And if you listen close to the song of the wind He's singing at the hills, the man in the field But I know he's there still, the man in the field The man in the field, the man in the field
