lyrics

Another morning comes
Another chance to get it right
Another evening falls
Looks like I lost another fight
Younger but older, my fire's getting colder each day
Heart keeps on beating as life is retreating....

I keep slipping even as I'm climbing
I keep falling even as I rise
Reaching upward am I moving downward
all my wisdom makes me so unwise

Just like a baby, can't see an end to my days
I keep pretending but, cheating the piper never pays
Younger but older, my fire's getting colder each day
Heart keeps on beating as life is retreating....

I keep slipping even as I'm climbing
I keep falling even as I rise
Reaching upward am I moving downward
all my wisdom cuts me down to size

Give me a ticket to - a place where I'm not in control
I need a hand to hold, the other half to make me whole

Out there it's somewhere, when I find my way there, I'll know
Heart keeps on beating but I’m not retreating....

I’m tired of slipping even as I'm climbing
No more falling every time I rise
Looking downward I am moving upward
Out there it's somewhere, when I find my way there, I'll know, I’ll know

Find Me In These Fields [remastered & re-imagined]
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

supported by 29 fans who also own “Song Du' Jour”

"Find Me in These Fields" was one of Phil's releases where I sensed he was free to be himself, and that came on strong in every tune. As a guitar player I was inspired, and as a father with a young son "Gentle & Strong" tugged every heart string. Jon Stout

I got Phil's TIME double CD set years ago and two of the songs from this original release are on it, so when I saw his offer to download it, I jumped on the opportunity to hear the rest of the album! andykercher

Getting Closer (1985/2020 Remaster)

Another classic Phil Keaggy album where it’s hard to pick just one favorite song. Too many good ones. Sounds, Movie, and Riverton are the backbone however and are must hears. Craig Opal
