The Fields of Anfield
¶ 1

Farewell the sands of time that fastened
Farewell to lovers whence I stole
A willin’ heart and willin’ lips
I cannot leave but I must go

The best of years I gave, and freely
Me money spent and rarely wise
But there within me heart it trembles
The roar goes up ‘neath blood red skies

There’s none so loved as this my passion
Snatched me soul and stripped me bare
Yea when I asked was freely given
The Fields of Anfield waiting there

Farewell the days of youth oh slender
Fragments held by silver threads
The kings that brought us honour, glory
The crown of victory upon each head

But now the time for dreaming over
The Kings all turned to silent sleep
Their swords disguised as football boots
That once pierced defences quietly sheathed

All peaceful now but ne’er forgotten
The scent of glory but remains
For sure affection never withers
The Fields of Anfield still the same

And in the heart of every Redman
Reveal the hopes of Kopites true
Long when the bloom of youth has perished
Eternal there is Liverpool

The language from the voice familiar
The cherished words will find a home
And none despair but find their comfort
Knowing none will walk alone

Our time is measured counted finely
What riches given must be returned
But lo! Behind the gates of heaven
The Fields of Anfield forever there…
