I moved my mouth like I had something to say
An empty silence filled my room
I should have listened to dear mother say
New fangled cities aren't for you


Those pastures and me
Never kept good company
And all that in between
It was closer than it seemed


I took some time to find a quiet place
My nerves were shot by afternoon
I beat my knuckles in an honest way
I felt it something I should prove


Those pastures and mе
Never kept good company
And all that in bеtween
It was closer than it seemed


These city people wear their smiles in chains
Like worn-out ghosts haunting my room
White stoic figures seeming unashamed
Perhaps I played my part too soon

Those pastures and me
Never kept good company
And all that in between
It was closer than it seemed
