Everybody's bound to fall But I don't need another call To give my life another chance and close my eyes to try a dance The riverbank is still the same The crawfish hides himself again I take my sleeping bag and dream away
A cricket in the windowsill Is looking out and standing still He must be very young, I bet A truly teenage cricket yet He's got a voice so thin and high I saw myself straight in his eyes I'll call him Gerald from now and again
I'm going away from here ways coming along I'm going away my dear and days come and go
A horsy stood around my bed His eyes were deep and painted black And when the sun begun to fall And everyone around was gone I dreamed of a girl again and said "I love your breath into my hair The way you cast a shadow on the moon"
Na na na ...
I'm going away from here ways coming along I'm going away my dear and days come and go
