Lyrics to Song For The Countryside
Can you hear the countryside singing?
Can you see the green shoots and humble beginnings?
Cracking and blossoming, popping and springing up
From the soil in the ground
Can you feel the sun on your face
Warming the cracks and the lines that life placed on you?
Air so sweet, it's a treat just to taste it
Don't waste it or wish it away
Oh you've been stuck inside your shoebox for so long
Won't you step outside and hear the countryside's song?
Can you hear the countryside singing?
Can you see the spiders and the webs, that they're spinning
Pale as milk and shining like silk
And glistening in the morning rain?
Have you seen the candy floss clouds
Blooming white pillows that billow so proud?
Tell me the shapes and the faces you see
Now you're free to stare up at the sky
Ah you've been stumbling through the silence for so long
Won't you clear your voice and sing the countryside's song?
Let it open your mind
Heaven knows it's time
To feel the wind blowing
To see the stars glowing
And the silver moonlight on the trees
To feel the change coming
Like wild horses running
It's time to set yourself free
Can you see the green shoots and humble beginnings?
Cracking and blossoming, popping and springing up
From the soil in the ground
Can you feel the sun on your face
Warming the cracks and the lines that life placed on you?
Air so sweet, it's a treat just to taste it
Don't waste it or wish it away
Oh you've been stuck inside your shoebox for so long
Won't you step outside and hear the countryside's song?
Can you hear the countryside singing?
Can you see the spiders and the webs, that they're spinning
Pale as milk and shining like silk
And glistening in the morning rain?
Have you seen the candy floss clouds
Blooming white pillows that billow so proud?
Tell me the shapes and the faces you see
Now you're free to stare up at the sky
Ah you've been stumbling through the silence for so long
Won't you clear your voice and sing the countryside's song?
Let it open your mind
Heaven knows it's time
To feel the wind blowing
To see the stars glowing
And the silver moonlight on the trees
To feel the change coming
Like wild horses running
It's time to set yourself free
