Oh Irene I know you're home,
Won't you please come out?
For hours on your cold front lawn,
Searching for your light
I remember when we ran through a
Field of roses
But winter time has killed them off
And the fields have turned to dust
(To dust)
Oh Irene you took my hand, then
You stole my heart
But now you won't show me your
Face, we're now before the start
(The start)
I remember we drove your car,
Drunk on love and wine
We took the apex way to fast and
Our bodies flew for a time
(A time, a time)
When I awoke your head was
Turned, your body lay next to mine
So I closed my eyes and in my head
Ran through fields of roses
Oh Irene I know you're home,
Won't you please come out?
For hours on your cold front lawn,
Searching for your light
(Your light)
