Standing in the back yard where our love used to grow

Big September moons above

Your garden needs a little tenderness I know

Bad time to be out of love

I can smell the pine breeze off the river tonight

I can hang a wish on the evening star

It's just the way you left it here but something's not right

Can you feel it where you are



River of hope is running shallow

Gonna need some rain here pretty soon

My field of dreams is lying fallow

You've got a brand new start with a love in bloom

I've got an empty heart and a harvest moon



It's just the kind of moon that used to follow us back then

I guess you're over that for good

It's not that I believe at all you're coming back again

It's just the kind of night to wish you would



River of hope is running shallow

Gonna need some rain here pretty soon

My field of dreams is lying fallow

You've got a brand new start with a love in bloom

I've got an empty heart and a harvest moon



Sky open up on these plains, fill up this stream

I want to stand in the rain till I'm clean



River of hope is running shallow

Gonna need some rain here pretty soon

My field of dreams is lying fallow

You've got a brand new start with a love in bloom

I've got an empty heart and a harvest moon
