The View Between Villages

Air in my lungs 'Til the road begins As the last of the bugs Leave their homes again And I'm splitting the road down the middle For a minute the world seemed so simple Feel the rush of my blood I'm seventeen again I am not scared of death I've got dreams again It's just me and the curve of the valley And there is meaning on Earth, I am happy (Oh, oh) Passed Alger Brook road, I'm over the bridge A minute from home but I feel so far from it The death of my dog, the stretch of my skin It's all washin' over me, I'm angry again The things that I lost here, the people I knew They got me surrounded for a mile or two The car's in reverse, I'm grippin' the wheel I'm back between villages and everything's still --- The View Between Villages - Noah Kahan
