The View Between Villages

Air in my lungs

'Till the road begins

As the last of the bugs

Leave their homes again

And I'm splitting the road down the middle

For a minute the world seems so simple

Feel the rush of my blood

I'm seventeen again

I am not scared of death

I've got dreams again

It's just me and the curve of the valley

There is meaning on earth, I am happy

Oh

Oh

Past Alger Brook Road

I'm over the bridge

A minute from home but I feel so far from it

The death of my dog

The stretch of my skin

It's all washing over me

I'm angry again

The things that I lost here

The people I knew

They got me surrounded

For a mile or two

The cars in reverse

I'm gripping the wheel

I'm back between villages

And everything's still
