lyrics

THIS FARM LIFE

I grew tired of all of it,
the jostling, the isolation,
And in another version of the same story,
moved out to the country

But the sweetness
of this time of year
brings back long nights
walking the busy streets,
wanting it so bad I could taste it

I was but a child then,
all hope still intact,
in a brief reprieve
from the throttling force of motion

And now this farm life
has also lost its glitter

I want to feel the rumbling of Central Station,
to hear the drunkards spilling out onto the avenue

I want to forget the way the dogwood flowers
bend to meet the morning dew

And if the old doldrums
once more begin to taint the journey,
take me home again,
but don’t ever let me stay
