[Verse 1]
EBy a lonely prison C#mwall,
AI heard a young girl EcallBing:
E"Michael, they have tAaken you aBway,
EFor you stole Trevelyan's Acorn,
ESo the young might see the mBorn,
Now a Bprison ship lies waiting in the Ebay.A" E
[Chorus]
ELow Alie the Efields of AthenC#mry,
Where Eonce we watched the small free birds Bfly.
Our Elove was on the Awing,
We had Edreams and songs to Bsing,
It's so Blonely 'round the fields of AthenEry.
[Verse 2]
EBy a lonely prison C#mwall,
AI heard a young man cEalBling:
E"Nothing matters, MAary, when you're fBree,
EAgainst the famine and the Acrown,
I reEbelled, they cut me Bdown,
Now you Bmust raise our child with digniEty."
[Chorus]
ELow Alie the Efields of AtheC#mnry,
Where Eonce we watched the small free birds Bfly.
Our Elove was on the Awing,
We had Edreams and songs to Bsing,
It's so Blonely 'round the fields of AthenEry.
[Chorus instrumental]
[Verse 3]
EBy a lonely harbor C#mwall,
She Awatched the last star EfalBling.
As the Eprison ship sailed Aout against the Bsky.
For she Elives in hope and Aprays,
For her Elove in Botany BBay,
It's so Blonely, 'round the fields of AthenEry.
[Chorus x2]
ELow Alie the Efields of AtheC#mnry,
Where Eonce we watched the small free birds Bfly.
Our Elove was on the Awing,
We had Edreams and songs to Bsing,
It's so Blonely 'round the fields of AthenEry.
