The Levellers - Far From Home lyrics

rate me

It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean

The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need

Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke

Kicking the dust so we can just

Dance the dance that plays with fire

Play guitar and play inspired

You said that you would leave not ever

Underneath the sky forever

It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot

We take a walk sown there to see what we've got

An old man collecting fifty beautiful words

Cleaning the beach so he can teach us to

CHORUS

It's cold by the pane glass on the high street we played

But there's always a penny in the music we made

So far from home with no means of return

Burning bridges, so we always

CHORUS

We're so far from home

No need to return

There's so much that we have taught

And so much that we have learned
