Oh country down
|
Where I found my proving ground
|
All along the floodline
|
Wheels are turning around
|
The hills roll out like centuries
|
Pass by without a sound
|
Just a mile outside of town
|
|
Downriverbound
|
Where the [?] sky fell down
|
A plot against your will
|
Is furrowed into your brow
|
Against your better judgment
|
It's all behind you now
|
Just a mile outside of town
|
|
What's the use of being found?
|
You can lose yourself [?] underground
|
In the weeds hiding down river right next door
|
There's no frame around your picture
|
Just a view through my back door
|
|
Time evermore
|
You just found what you're looking for
|
A tiger rose growing through your prison door
|
Reaching for sunlight, can't see it anymore
|
Just a mile from my back door
|
|
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
|
On a ladder up to the sky
|
You're standing on the lowest rung
|
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense
|
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
|
|
Oh lay me down
|
Where we found my proving ground
|
All along the floodline
|
Waves are turning around
|
The hills roll out like centuries
|
Pass by without a sound
|
Just a mile outside of town
|
