Songbook (DISC 2)

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 would cry
The whole day long


There was young girls everywhere
On the summer side of life
They talked all night


To the young men that they knew
On the summer side of life
Goin' off to fight


And if you saw them now
You'd wonder why they would 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 would cry
The whole day long


And if you saw him now
You'd wonder why


And if you saw him now
You'd wonder why


And if you saw him now
You'd wonder why
