lyrics

Well I lost all day to that wretched porter's graces
Who shook my hand at first and then threw away my cases
While I sat down, smiling, trying not be broken
A man had asked me why I was so damn soft spoken

Well I fought my way through countries and their borders
I had no change to spare, nor a troop to place an order
There were grey skies flying along those sunken hills
I never trusted men in charge, nor should I trust a Jill

There were fields
There were stars
There were forests in the fog
And there were farmers chasing dogs

There was light
There was dark
There were men without courage
Or men without hearts

I've been trying, trying so hard
To take my leave, and go home
To the mountains I will be
On higher ground, I'm safe from thee
