Lyrics
live in the country
when your fortune is failing, when your path has fell dark,
and you find yourself stranded, in a deepening plot,
and all reason and longing, and history and hope,
are all cast overboard, just to keep you afloat,
and if singing is useless, and the air fills with ice,
like dull dying orchards, theres no running to hide,
oh there wont be no winners, except time and rust,
and it laughs as it laps us, and we return to dust,
my message to you my friend,
is to disregard the obvious end,
and ignore the imminence of eminent trends,
and to live in the country,
yeh live in the country,
and if tommorrow is cancelled, well weve still got tonight,
beneath the gloom of the clocktower, your smile bred a light,
and as i reached out to touch it, the world felt so right,
for a last waking moment, that was so fvcking nice,
and if the silence now explodes, into a white hot dove,
and this deafening darkness, is usurped by higher love,
then the redundant churchyards, sweet alluvial soil,
will bear witness to revelations, and we all must face these trials,
my message to you my friend,
is to disregard the obvious end,
and ignore the imminence of eminent trends,
and to live in the country,
yeh live in the country,
lets go walking in the country, on a silver afternoon,
and sit drinking in a wooded field, the trees will hold sky,
and the sky will hold the sun,
and the sun will hold all of creation,
until the day is done, the day is done,
live in the country
