[Verse 1]
By a lGonely prison wall I heCard a young girl GcalDling
MGichael, they have tCaken you awDay
For you sGtole Trevelyan's cCorn so the yGoung might see the mDorn
Now a Dprison ship lies waiting in the Gbay
[Chorus]
GLow Clie the Gfields of AthenEmry where Gonce we watched the small free birds Dfly
Our lGove was on the wCing, we had dGreams and songs to sDing
It's so Dlonely round the fields of AthenGry
[Verse 2]
By a lGonely prison wall I hCeard a young man GcalDling
NGothing matters MCary, when you're fDree
Against the fGamine and the cCrown I reGbelled, they cut me dDown
Now Dyou must raise a child with digniGty
[Chorus]
GLow Clie the Gfields of AthenEmry where Gonce we watched the small free birds Dfly
Our lGove was on the wCing, we had dGreams and songs to sDing
It's so Dlonely round the fields of AthenGry
[Verse 3]
By a lGonely harbour wall she wCatched the last star GfalDling
As the prGison ship sailed oCut against the Dsky
Sure she'll wGait and hope and pCray for her Glove in Botany BDay
It's so Dlonely round the fields of AthenGry
[Chorus]
GLow Clie the Gfields of AthenEmry where Gonce we watched the small free birds Dfly
Our lGove was on the wCing, we had dGreams and songs to sDing
It's so Dlonely round the fields of AthenGry
