Johnny Flynn - Country Mile - Live in Washington DC, Solo lyrics
Artist: Johnny Flynn
album: Live in Washington DC (Solo)
I've walked in the fields, and I've trod light for days
Seems I'll do that old rag, takes me all kinds of ways
Except the way I'd be headed if I knew where I was going
But I'm from the country, and it's better not knowing
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
The poplars, and willows, and birds pass me by
The mould of the earth to the space in the sky
Free from my roots and I'm lost in the wind
Wind on the mountain, and the mountain's my friend
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
Hemlock and yew have me toeing the line
Questions come knocking, I'll answer in time
But the seams of the soil unravel with ease
Nose to the road and I'm painfully free
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
Call me the wind in the hole
Blowing my way to the call
I'll dust up the days 'til I've gone every way
No less and I've never wanted more, more, more
Lost on the bough in a golden refrain
Sleep goes away and the day comes again
But the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof
I'll be this young choice 'til I'm long in the tooth
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
Seems I'll do that old rag, takes me all kinds of ways
Except the way I'd be headed if I knew where I was going
But I'm from the country, and it's better not knowing
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
The poplars, and willows, and birds pass me by
The mould of the earth to the space in the sky
Free from my roots and I'm lost in the wind
Wind on the mountain, and the mountain's my friend
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
Hemlock and yew have me toeing the line
Questions come knocking, I'll answer in time
But the seams of the soil unravel with ease
Nose to the road and I'm painfully free
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
Call me the wind in the hole
Blowing my way to the call
I'll dust up the days 'til I've gone every way
No less and I've never wanted more, more, more
Lost on the bough in a golden refrain
Sleep goes away and the day comes again
But the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof
I'll be this young choice 'til I'm long in the tooth
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I'll walk another country mile
I'll see another star
