Lyrics

I lost the right to pity on some dark city street
For when I spoke your name the words were mighty sweet
Well you can trust this city to mould you into its own
And when it's had the best of you you'll find the rest of you gone
Oh find me the place where I belong
For I have travelled in between
The tall skyscrapers and the sea
For home is where I've never been
Give me a train ticket and a few days to myself
I'm on that road I was fearing for my health
Well you can trust this road to take you any place new
When you're there what the hell are you supposed to do?
I found love in unexpected places
I found fear where I expected change
I found in you six million graces
I found my meaning in your name
I lost my mouth I followed the road so what do I care?
I don't need more than food and clothes and air
Give me a train ticket and a few days out of town
But just don't mention settling down
Until you've found me the place where we belong
'Til then we'll travel in between
The tall skyscrapers and the shivering sea
Someday I'll find a place to satisfy me
I keep thinking there's a place that's really rare
The trees are taller and the grass is greener there
Oh won't you lay me down so that I can see the sky?
Give me a few square feet where I don't need an alibi
Find me the place where I belong
'Til then I'll travel in between
The tall skyscrapers and the shivering sea
Someday I'll find a place to satisfy me
