I Heard You

I heard you singing
Down by the crops
And I felt your voice
Raise the hairs on my arm
And as you turned
I hid beneath
The blades of grass
Grown up past our knees

Each day that winter
I saw you there
Of our rendezvous
You were unaware
Until you fell
And I saved your life
But I could not save you
A second time

You were my first love
And I was your last
And I left you there
Buried with my past
And as I prayed
And as I cried
I heard you say to me
"Goodbye"

I heard you singing
Down by the crops
And I saw your hair
In the swaying tree tops
And as I ran
To be by your side
You disappeared into
The night.
