"Voices In The Field" lyrics - CALEXICO

Running through fields of flowers and smoke
Leaving behind all that we've built
The garden now in ashes and the roof is caving in
A broken hourglass, blood running thin

[Chorus:]
(For your life)
Come to my side
(For your life)
Take me from here
(For your life)
Open up your heart
Let me hear your voice
Let me hear you sing

I wasn't on my way down to the marketplace
Wasn't at the schoolyard where our children play
I wasn't in our home standing in the living room
Or writing you a note that I'll be back soon

[Chorus:]
(For your life)
Come to my side
(For your life)
Take me from here
(For your life)
Open up your heart
Let me hear your voice
Let me hear you sing
Oh, let me hear you sing
Let me hear you sing

[Guitar solo]

I don't recognize myself that much anymore
Memories in my pockets and coins on the floor
All I smell is smoke and all I ever see
Is the look in you eyes
That look in you eyes

[Chorus:]
(For your life)
Come to my side
(For your life)
Take me from here
(For your life)
Open up your heart
(For your life)
Let me hear your voice
(For your life)
Open up your heart
(For your life)
Let me hear your voice
Oh, let me hear you sing
Let me hear you sing
