Burning the Fields Songtext
von Si Kahn

They′re burning the fields in the north Georgia mountains
The stalks of last summer go blazing to earth
The turning plow tears out the roots of the harvest
Preparing the ground for a season of birth

Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Gabriel, Gabriel
You're the one I love

I long for the mountains and you going with me
I ache for the friends that I′ve missed for so long
I mourn for the family I'd wanted so badly
But now that I've lost it there′s no holding on


Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Gabriel, Gabriel
You′re the one I love

If only our lives could be cleared of the stubble
But old growth will tangle the roots of the new
And though with these changes I'm bound to be going
My heart is breaking for me and for you

Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Gabriel, Gabriel
You′re the one I love

Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Oh Gabriel, oh Gabriel
Gabriel, Gabriel
You're the one I love
