Lyrics

[00:00.00]
[00:57.88] Back in those towns, as the stars come out
[01:05.28] People go to their homes and the lights come on
[01:12.22] I sigh with the trees and walk past the windows
[01:18.05] And feel the cold a little more than I did
[01:24.84] More than before
[01:26.47] I put my hands inside my pockets
[01:30.80] And wish that I were them
[01:35.50] But I don't know
[01:38.72] I was so sure
[01:40.61] But I'm not anymore
[01:44.88] Unless you stay close to me
[01:51.30] Like the wild geese
[01:52.80] That fly through the thunder
[01:56.42] Onward and upward
[02:00.03] Through the clouds
[02:02.48] Away from the rain
[02:05.46] And the wind that blows us down
[02:07.97] When the sky turns black
[02:11.00] When the wolves run back
[02:13.97] We'll just wait here for
[02:17.22] The first lights of morning
[02:21.74] You and me
[02:24.48] We're like those geese
[02:27.22] Out in the thunder
[03:01.05] Back in those towns, it's all familiar
[03:08.42] It's what I know
[03:10.92] But I was always on my own
[03:14.55] No-one beside me on train rides
[03:21.52] Through the countryside
[03:29.41] I put my hands inside my pockets
[03:33.55] And wish that I were them
[03:38.69] But I don't know
[03:41.86] I was so sure
[03:43.80] But I'm not anymore
[03:48.91] Now, you and me
[03:53.77] We're like the wild geese
[03:56.22] That fly through the thunder
[03:59.72] Onward and upward
[04:03.38] Through the clouds
[04:05.57] Away from the rain
[04:08.47] And the wind that blows us down
[04:11.11] When the sky turns black
[04:13.94] When the wolves run back
[04:17.54] We'll just wait here for
[04:20.47] The first lights of morning
[04:24.64] You and me
[04:27.24] We're like those geese
[04:29.90] Out in the thunder
[04:34.86]
