Music & Lyrics : Terry Gilkyson - Rich Dehr - Frank Miller
Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ?
I'll never know what made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I only know there's, nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.
Still I'll keep on waiting, until you return.
I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn.
You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields, and me once again.

Greenfields of France
Well, how do you do, Private William McBride,
Do you mind if I sit down here by your graveside?
And rest for awhile in the warm summer sun,
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.
And I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916,
Well, I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean
Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fir o'er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles sound The Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined?
And, though you died back in 1916,
To that loyal heart are you forever 19?
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Forever enshrined behind some glass pane,
In an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained,
And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?
The sun's shining down on these green fields of France;
The warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance.
The trenches have vanished long under the plow;
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard that's still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man.
And a whole generation who were butchered and damned.
And I can't help but wonder, no Willie McBride,
Do all those who lie here know why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you "The Cause?"
Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain,
For Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.
The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village celebrate America’s railroad heritage with a working steam railway that takes visitors around the perimeter of the site. The locomotive roster is maintained in a reconstructed roundhouse of the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad. The DT&I conveyed coal from his mines to Henry Ford’s Detroit car plants. A star exhibit is DT&I #45, a loco that Ford personally acquired for preservation after it was retired in the late 1920s. Dating from 1902, it is an ALCO-built 4-4-2 that originally hauled high-speed express trains on the Michigan Central main line.
Once there were greenfields...kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys...where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled ....through greenfields..

Hi Flickr friends! I´m back!!!
I´ve been away for more than a month because I visited my homeland, the Philippines.
I got a ton of photos from there, especially of insect macros but I will start by posting this landscape shot. There´s a lot of insects hiding on those grasses, and you´ll see them later on.
This view was taken from the window of my brother-in-law´s house where we stayed for 1 month. It was so nice and relaxing to see these green ricefields everyday.
My only complain during my vacation: I didn´t have internet! I bought a USB modem but it didn´t work well , so all I did was take photos hoping to upload them later on.
I´m glad to be back here in Spain now so that I can share these photos here in Flickr.

The red phone kiosk and pillar box add a nice touch to the scene.
