I was 13 when we packed up in the city | |
and moved out west to a town in the country | |
everybody thought that we were so lucky | |
but I wasn’t all that sure | |
can you ever really take the city from the boy | |
well the first thing I missed was all the noise | |
it was so damn quiet I found it hard to sleep at night | |
in country town if you’re gonna be a blow-in | |
you have to be tough and gain respect | |
there’s no point in running to the priest or running back home | |
I never let anybody see me cry | |
that only happened once in bed at night | |
I missed my friends and I wondered what they were doing | |
CHORUS | |
out of the dark, into the light we go | |
bird in a cage, what are you waiting for | |
out of the dark, into the light we go | |
bird in a cage, somebody let it go | |
we ran a little shoe shop down on the main street | |
business was bad so we diversified | |
we sold fishing rods, knitting wool and ex-army gear. | |
one day my dad got in a mighty rage | |
when I was left in charge, I always gave wrong change | |
so instead I was given the job of fitting the shoes | |
CHORUS | |
I’d say it took us just about two years | |
till we were settled in and had nothing to fear | |
we were right on the edge the world with the setting sun | |
my brothers and sisters what would we have done | |
without each other we couldn’t have won | |
we made good friends and I still keep in touch today | |
