West Of The Fields

Song available on Murmur.

Long gone, intuition to assume are gone when we try.
Dream of a living jungle in my way back home when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. West of the fields.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify

The animals, how strange. Try, try to stick it in.
The animals, how strange. Try, try to stick it in.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming when we try.
Listen through your eyes when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields.
West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone.
Long gone. Long gone.
West of the fields.

I love the soaring melody and harmonizing in the middle of this song. It just seems to run away to a frenetic, chaotic climax and then just comes right back down to reality. An incredible effect!!!
