想到西洋歌曲,他就不覺記起「至潔三寳」的合唱團來,他們三個人都跟他同屆,都屬於耕莘的那個叫「至潔」的男生教友團體。他們三人當中, W 念土木,以前跟他是高中同班同學,在大學裏又念同一系; Y 念物理,在宿舍裏住在他的隔壁寢室,很有才氣,也很有少年人的輕狂;還有一位念化學系。他們唱起 The Brothers Four 的歌來,可是有模有樣,一首綠草原(Greenfields)唱得真是入味三分,風靡多少人。
他可會找到這麼一片綠草原,能夠和她一起蕩漾、編織他們的未來?
他的日子就在學校、教會與忙碌的課外活動中度過。
Greenfields (The Brothers Four)
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun Once there were valleys where rivers used to run Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above Once they were part of an everlasting love We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart Where are the green fields that we used to roam
Ill never know what made you run away How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day I only know theres nothing here for me Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see
Still Ill keep on waiting until you return Ill keep on waiting until the day you learn You cant be happy while your hearts on the roam You cant be happy until you bring it home Home to the green fields and me once again
