Under the ruins of a walled city Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light No cries of truce, no signs of pity The siege guns have been pounding through the night It took a day to build this city I walk through its streets in the afternoon As I returned across the lands I'd known I recognized the fields where I once played Had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking in the mines I'd laid

Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to strawberry fields

Right field! It's easy, you know.
You can be awkward and you can be slow.
That's why I'm here in right field,
Just watching the dandelions grow.
Peter, Paul, and Mary - Right Field
He's up against a team that he has never seen before and they march into the out field like they're marching out to war
Kimya Dawson
"Happy Home"
(Is outfield one word? does that not count?)
Over green fields, trees and mountains,
flowers and forest bounty
Skyline Pigeon ~Elton/Bernie
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be center field.

They found her lying in a field
Under a bright and cloudless sky
-"Strange Weather" by David Haldeman
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
Sting
Through fields of gold
Through fields of ruin
All of the children vanished too soon
Sons Of...
Judy Collins sang it
Little boy in a baseball hat
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
Kenny Rogers
"The Greatest"
Once there were green fields
kissed by the sun
"Green Fields," The Brothers Four
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks

These tidings shepherds heard
In fields watching their fold...
A Christmas song we've been singing lately... "A Child this day is born..."
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
old Christmas hymn
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No cries of truce, no signs of pity
The siege guns have been pounding through the night
It took a day to build this city
I walk through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I once played
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking in the mines I'd laid

The dust has finally settled on the field of human clay.
Say I by Creed
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years going by like so many summer fields
Running on Empty
Jackson Browne
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
"Gentle On My Mind," John Hartford
(Glen Campbell made it famous, but John Hartford wrote it and also recorded it)
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
"For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her," Simon & Garfunkel
The teams wanted to take the field
But the marching band refused to yield.
--"American Pie," Don McLean
