Fields Of June

Emily Barker

Compositor: Emily Barker

The sky is grey it’s not blue
She doesn’t love me like she used to
There’s a cold wind blowing in these trees along the track
She doesn’t love me like she used to

Today I told my darling in the fields of June
That I do not love him like I used to
Well the wind began to blow and the sky turned from blue
When I told him that I do not love him like I used to

But I burnt my hands trying for our love
And I broke my nails too
So don’t accuse me now for going back on our vow
I’m gonna bury you in these fields of June

How the hell did it ever come to this?
How does she not love me like before?
I’m lonely and I’m sorry and I don’t know what to do
Since she told me that she doesn’t love me like she used to

Well baby I have reasons that you never listened to
As to why I do not love you like before
And you might be sorry and may not know what to do
But don’t bother me for I do not love you like I used to

But I burnt my hands trying for our love
And if you go I’ll break in two
So don’t you leave me now, don’t go back on our vow
Don’t you bury me in these fields of June

(Chorus repeat)
