lyrics

Where is my mind to take me when I’m going home,
where will it take me when there’s nowhere to go?
I know it doesn’t move anyway,
The clock-set mind that’s checking on me is here to stay

But even though it’s happened,
we’ve all stopped moving
The glowing lights keep us all awake
So settle down and love what’s in our place

Staying at home with you
Staying at home with you
It’s all I want to do
is stay at home with you

Foraging, flying and running for the free life
Privileged people pay to pass it by
Lucky to be living how and where I am
Only a small bit broken and not asking why

Seasonal spring flowers dusting-off my eye-line
Put a new plant in soil - watch it grow
We were fighting to earn that little bit of freedom
Paying for it in time,
Just let it go
