about

Dave wrote this song but wasn’t happy with the lyric so Mark Smith stepped in and made some sense out of it. It’s a reflective tune that tries to tie all the themes of this album together.

lyrics

You can walk along a dusty road when the seasons have run dry
You can gather up your memories and throw them to the sky
When the sun grows dim and colors fly who knows what might be found
Beneath the feet of everyone in the field of common ground.

In a time of restitution on a day of simple prayer
When the battle grounds are empty you might find something there
In the trenches of the dark and low there still might be a sound
From those who never found a place in the field of common ground

Under cover of a darkened sky a ghostly shape appears
In and out of space and time it goes drifting through the years
A message of the things to come or a light from long ago
It wanders down that dusty road to places no one knows

In a time without solutions in the harbors of the night
When the battles all are raging where goes that ghostly light
It can see the face of everyone who thinks their glory bound
It never turns around to see the field of common ground
No, It never turns around to see the field of common ground
