lyrics

the playing field at Eton

I held your hand and the wind felt warm
on the playing field at Eton
and danced and spun and came undone
to the rhythm of your breathing
your hair was like a willow blown
your eyes were every season
I never loved to love your more
than when chasing you at Eton

I have a tear and it’s just for you
for days that were our fancy
when bitter need did not impede
our hearts forever dancing
when passion won over damage done
and mistrust was defeated
and chasing you was enough to do
on the playing field at Eton

So come with me and be my bride
that we might live as children
and we may find Heaven inside
this love we have been building
between ideal and what is real
I’d lay my life upon
my one true goal –
to feed your soul
on the playing field at Eton

oh loving arms, my prayer enfold
and send this dove above you
and by that Potter’s graceful art
bring back a bowl for two
I’ll catch the dew to bring to you
our holy water sweetened
by the days we ran
on that softer land
at the playing field at Eton
