Текст песни: Sweet Green Fields + перевод

Also recorded 2/21/67 and released on Sundazed Record’s cd, «The Knickerbockers.

From the S & C album GET CLOSER (1976)

Sampled on the 1997 rap hit by Busta Rhymes, «Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can

See.»

Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence

Been a long time since I’ve felt this way, let the feeling stay

Reaching for the arms of love, livin', dreamin', thinkin' of

The moment I slip on the glove, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown

Starin' at the face of happiness, this time it answers yes

In aging peace my doubts will rest away, let the feeling stay

Looking through the eyes of truth, I see faith and love and youth

And all else dries up like the dew, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown

And I’ll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging

to someone

The distant feeling’s gone, and I can make it from now on

My world has something new. It’s all because of you

The sweet green fields growing in my life will never die

Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence

Been a long time since I’ve felt this way, let the feeling stay

Walking up the road of togetherness, this time I must confess

This day’s the very best. My fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown

And I’ll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging

to someone

Now I’ll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging

to someone

Well I’ll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging

to someone
