Across the Fields
Across the Fields - meaning Summary
Homesickness and Wandering
This short lyric expresses longing and displacement through simple landscape movement. The speaker watches clouds, wind, leaves and birds sweep across distances while imagining a lost child — a figure of personal or familial absence — wandering toward a distant home. The recurring "across" emphasizes separation and the desire to reconnect with origin, turning natural motion into a metaphor for memory, yearning and the search for belonging.
