Had To Go

The easiness here is quite enough for me

Birds don't much whistle, shine bright through the trees

And I know that I'm in my place to be

The borders and lines don't mean a thing

The limitless greenery has got much to lend

Mind and body, still I'm wanting, more of its blend

And I know they want a piece from me

Making servants of men and fools out of me

It's not you who had to go

And it's not you who wants to show

A passport of entry to my

Country of love

Another voice comes crying out distant from my ear

Milk and bread and gas and beer, half their worth up here

And I know after sixteen weeks things are still unclear

The night breaks, the darkness lies, fog approaches near

Every day comes over the stoic mountain face

Blinding me beyond my eyes grow weary in this place

And I know I should be glad I'm woken up without disgrace

Start me off with another cup of wasting my days

It's not you who had to go

And it's not you who wants to show

A passport of entry to my

Country of love

Come with me to another time when I could understand

When you live out on your own no one will lend a hand

And I know that I'm in my place to be

Borders and lines don't mean a thing
