I'll Meet You There

I used to play in the corn field

My pants wet up to my knees

Living in a world of adventure

The boys from the back road and me

Smoking cigarettes behind the wall

From a packet stolen from the kitchen

What would mam  if she knew

But we were just being children

What would mam say 

When I came home

From some jungle adventure

At the end of the road

Torn pants and bloody hands

And two wars won

A thousand miles travelled

Before the sun went down

I will never be so old again

I dont to be so old again

And Johnny went to the other side of town

And I went to the other side of the world

In books and in numbers and secret places

I called your name but you never heard

Blackberry bulletholes

And the boys from the back road

Never stopped me then 

And they wont stop me now

Let me take your old

Leather skinned hand

Clothes your eyes 

Let me show you how

We can send our spirits there

We can meet each other there

When everything was simple 

And the world was full of dreams

We can meet each other there

We can both be born again

Ill meet you in the corn field

Our pants wet up to our knees
