|
You wait in the car on the side of the road |
|
Let me go and stand a while |
|
I want to know you're there, but I want to be alone |
|
If only for a minute or two |
|
I want to see what it feels like to leave without you |
|
I want to feel the touch of my own skin |
|
Against the sun, against the wind |
|
I walked out in a field |
|
The grass was high and it brushed against my legs |
|
I just stood and looked out at the open space |
|
At a farmhouse out a little ways |
|
And I wondered about the people who lived in it |
|
And I wondered if they were happy and content |
|
Were there children and a man and a wife? |
|
And did she love him and take her hair down at night? |
|
If I stray too far from you |
|
Don't go and try to find me |
|
It doesn't mean that I don't love you |
|
It don't mean that I won't come back and stay beside you |
|
It only means that I need a little time |
|
To follow that unbroken line |
|
To a place where where the wild things grow |
|
To a place where I always used to go |
|
If only for a minute or two |
|
I want to see what it feels like to be without you |
|
I want to know the touch of my own skin |
|
Against the sun, against the wind |
