[02:23.022]Now, in this faraway land
[02:29.509]Strange, that the palms of my hands
[02:34.331]Should be damp with expectancy
[03:50.831]Spring, and the air's turning mild
[03:56.153]City lights, and the glimpse of a child
[04:02.140]Of the alleyway infantry
[04:09.457]Friends, do they know what I mean
[04:16.033]Rain, and the gathering green
[04:21.213]Of an afternoon out-of-town
[04:28.749]But Lord I had to go
[04:32.075]My trail was laid too slow behind me
[04:38.062]To face the call of fame
[04:41.388]Or make a drunkard's name for me
[04:47.375]Though now this better life
[04:51.366]Has brought a different understanding
[04:57.353]And through these endless days
[05:00.679]Shall come a broader sympathy
[05:06.666]And though I count the hours
[05:10.657]To be alone's no injury
[05:14.649]My home, was a place by the sand
[05:23.213]Cliffs, and a military band
[05:27.288]Blew and air of normality
[05:36.908]ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[05:42.522]ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[05:49.013]ooh, ooh
[05:55.311]aah aah
