Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I remember a meadow one morning in May

With a sky full of dreams that sailed in that day

I was dancing through greenwaves of grass like the sea

And for a moment in time, I could feel I was free

[Verse 2]

There are waves of forgiveness and waves of regret

And the first waves of true love I'll never forget

In the meadow that morning, as I wandered alone

There were greenwaves of yearning for life still unknown

[Verse 3]

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart

Where the waves reach as far as you can see

Take me home to the meadow, we've been too long apart

I can still hear you calling for me

[Verse 4]

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart

Where the waves reach as far as you can see

Take me home to the meadow, we've been too long apart

I can still hear you calling for me

[Verse 5]

What I'd give to remember that heavenly state

Just a moment in time, all mine to create

As I'm taking my last breath, I know what I will see

There'll be greenwaves forever out there waiting for me

[Verse 6]

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart

Where the waves reach as far as you can see

Take me home to the meadow, we've been too long apart

I can still hear you calling for me
