I am fragile in the morning, I grow stronger in the day
I can sprint like a new spring doe by the fall of the night
Oh, and love has chased me down, through the cities and the towns
Until I stood beside the road and let it pass me by
()us
Like a fool, I've missed the rain 'cause I was cryin'.
Then you are calling - call my heart awake from years of slumber
And then I'm falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.
But can you hold me though I am inclined to leave my home and wander?
Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?
Fi-elds of summer - fi-elds of summer
I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.
And now that you have caught me, are you sure you really want me
Though I'm fragile as December on your shoulder in the dawn?
And when the day has made me stronger, can you satisfy my hunger
When the night has come and I would race the moon across the sky?
Would you chase me through those open fields of summer?
And you are calling - call my heart awake from years of slumber
And I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.
But can you hold me though I am inclined to leave my home and wander?
Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?
Fields of summer (yeah) - fields of summer
I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.
Can you hold me - hold me - hold me?
Can you hold me - hold me - hold me?
I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.
