- Somewhere Else - Rough Demo Mark Andrew 3:36
A wild place I never want to leave.
Lyrics
These oak trees, slowly growin’ The old creek just keeps on flowin’ Round the bend, in no hurry to reach the sea The blue birds have time for talkin’ And a new fawn tries out walkin’ And nobody here needs any help from me. Somewhere else the TV news is blaring Troubles mount, and emails overflow Soon I must go back and face the real world or maybe this one’s real and that one’s just for show. A million snowflakes are accruing Watching the fire is all I’m doing As the smoke leaves the chimney for the sky No sound. The earth is sleeping Kettle sings, time restarts creeping And for once my restless mind’s not wonderin’ why. Somewhere else the TV news is blaring Troubles mount, and emails overflow Soon I must go back and face the real world This one’s real but that crazy world, I don’t know. One more minute One more minute if I can buy it One more lungful of the quiet Let me breathe. Let me breathe Let me breathe. Let me breathe Let me breathe These oak trees slowly growin’ This old creek just keeps on flowin’ Round the bend, in no hurry to reach the sea
