Fields of St. Etienne alternate version by Mary Hopkin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Through the fields of St. Etienne
Amidst the corn I wander
In my hand an ear of corn
The morning dew has kissed
Here beneath these skies
I lay with my lover
While the summer winds gathered clouds of war

[Chorus]
Au revoir, my love
Though the reasons pass me
Why we can't remain in the fields of St. Etienne

[Verse 2]
Waving proudly, singing loudly
Being young and foolish
He was going never knowing
He would not return
Singing songs of war
Filled with God and country
Marching down the road with the boys that day
[Chorus]
Au revoir, my love
Though the reasons pass me
Why we can't remain in the fields of St. Etienne

[Chorus]
Au revoir, my love
Though the reasons pass me
Why we can't remain in the fields of St. Etienne

[Outro]
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da
