Windmills

moi Caprice

We were young and full of hope

then with the big decisions happily postponed

If you don’t know what you want

then you can end up with a lot of things you don’t

Now they’re tearing down the only town we’ve known

Well, the Roman Empire crumbled

They had yet to learn the laws of gravity

But the apple that doesn’t wish to be eaten

will eventually someday fall off the tree

Now they’re tearing down the forest

And here is the open sky

Out here there’s no place to hide

We dreamed of a better life

We dreamed of another life

We dreamed of a better life

We dreamed of another life

At least we could try to try

I watched as those planes flew by
