Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

The Field of Play

The fields they redden slowly

As every player is laid low

The guns are never silenced

As every single orphan knows.

Time may break your heart, your love will go on forever

Time may break your heart, your love will carry on

Time may break your heart, your love will go on forever

Time may break your heart, your love will carry on.

Evening turns to darkness

Just as the cliché always says

The rain begins to fall

The mayhem, the madness, and it all

End it all right now with the last war.

Time may break your heart, your love will go on forever

Time may break your heart, your love will carry on

Time may break your heart, your love will go on forever

Time may break your heart, your love will carry on.

Tell me

Time can break your heart, your love will carry forward

Time will break your heart. love will carry on

Time will break your heart, these wars and troubles only.

These wars and time might try to break your heart but love will carry on

The fields seem so empty now, no enemies left

Your heart is sore, your mind bereft

The time you got gonna break your heart

The time you got maybe break your heart

But your love?

Time can’t break my heart

Time may break your heart,

All the madness, all the mayhem flies away

You got the power of love

Time will break your heart but your own love will carry on

The love you have inside, impeccable, unstoppable.

Believable, believable, it’s the love you have inside

You know yourself.
