Tumbleweed Fields – written 9/12/08
Kimberli Ransom
You call on the phone
just like it was then
Like we were young kids
and I was your friend
Say do you recall
a tumbleweed field
The years make it hazy
was it for real
I don’t know if it
was tragedy or truth
I don’t know if
I ever made it through
VERSE 2
You ask me his name
what does he do
I hope that you love him
like I loved you
Yeah, summer was long here
hottest to date
I don’t think about you
‘til October late
I don’t know if it
was bad luck or fate
But autumn leaves and dark days
remind me of your face
CHORUS
By the time the phone rings
we’ve already lived it
And by the way did life bring
all the love you’d give it
By the way I do recall
tumbleweed fields
We drove all night long
just to get there
Sand on the windshield
hand in your hair
That sky burned afire
that morning was cold
We loved as they danced
tumbled and rolled
I don’t know if it was
promised or proposed
The answer’s still the same
but it’s not the one we chose
CHORUS
By the time the phone rings
we’ve already lived it
And by the way did life bring
all the love you’d give it
By the way I do recall
tumbleweed fields
BRIDGE
Fields of tumble weeds
Each night before I sleep
And I make it through
another day
As I lay me down
Wind blows all around
‘til I, make it through
another day
of tumble weed fields
(VERSE 3)
Yeah, mama is fine
but dad passed away
Your children are grown now
what are their names
Long before I went gray
and lines crossed your face
I wondered out loud
who’d fill your space
I don’t know if it was
blind luck or faith
But I found love again
and he walks in your place
CHORUS
By the time the phone rings
we’ve already lived it
And by the way did life bring
all the love you’d give it
By the way I do recall
tumbleweed fields

One step cross the line
His boots were polished and spit shined
And what a mess they left behind
Just one step cross the line
Sterling bands of steel
Aren’t strong enough to feel
All the ways the heart won’t heal
After sterling bands of steel
It’s just a place you’ve never been
Can’t move on and can’t move in
It’s just the little ways you die
Pull all the stars down from the sky
Standing this side of goodbye
Standing this side of goodbye
You tend to ask the questions why
When no one cares enough to lie
You’re standing this side of goodbye
It’s just a place you’ve never been
Can’t move on and can’t move in
It’s just the little ways you die
Pull all the stars down from the sky
Standing this side of goodbye
You didn’t mean to do it
Said there was nothing to it
But babe, you couldn’t look me in the eye
Voices in my head screaming
No going back to dreaming
I turn and slowly step across that line
To this side of goodbye
One step cross the line
My new boots, oh, how they shine
When love is forward not behind
You’re standing this side of goodbye
It’s just a place you know you’ve been
Can move on, can move in
It’s just the little ways you try
Put all the stars back in the sky
Standing this side of goodbye
