Country Down

歌詞

Oh country down Where I found my proving ground All along the flood line Wheels are turning around The hills roll out like centuries That pass by without a sound Just a mile outside of town Down river-bound Where the limit to your sky fell down The 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 in being found? When you can lose yourself in some good ground In the weeds hiding downriver right next door There's no frame around the picture Just the view through my back door Time evermore, you just found what you're looking for Tiger rose growing through your prison door Reaching for sunlight You 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 to the sky I'm standing on the lowest rung Holding a lifeline Using my best defense Riding in the undertow My heart couldn't fight against Oh lay me down where I found my proving ground All along the flood line waves are turning around The hills roll out like sentries That pass by without a sound Just a mile outside of town
