Far From Home

It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke Kicking the dust so we can just Dance the dance that plays with fire Play guitar and play it inspired You said that you would leave not ever Underneath the sky forever It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot We take a walk down there to see what we've got An old man collecting fifty beautiful words Cleaning the beach so he can teach us to Dance the dance that plays with fire Play guitar and play it inspired You said that you would leave not ever Underneath the sky forever It's cold by the pane glass on the high street we played But there's always a penny in the music we made So far from home with no means of return Burning bridges, so we always Dance the dance that plays with fire Play guitar and play it inspired You said that you would leave not ever Underneath the sky forever We're so far from home No need to return There's so much that we have taught And so much that we have learned --- Far from Home - The Levellers
