He came down through fields of green

On the summer side of life

His love was ripe

There were no illusions

On the summer side of life

Only tenderness

And if you saw him now

You d wonder why he d cry

The whole day long

There were young girls everywhere

On the summer side of life

The talked all night

To the young men that they knew

On the summer side of life

Going off to fight

And if you saw them now

You d wonder why they d cry

The whole day long

He came down through fields of green

On the summer side of life

He prayed all night

Then he walked into a house

Where love had been misplaced

His chance to waste

And if you saw him now

You d wonder why he d cry

The whole day long
