lyrics

As I wandered through a murder of crows upon a field
A swell in the stomach
And a yielding in my eyes
I thought of friendship and of solitude
As I rambled on unto a place I know, not I

Kids are fun but they're annoying the same time
They smile so sweet but when they throw their comforts down .. And down again
Our little repetitive friends ...
That's when my smile begins to turn around

Now that may sound cold
But I'm as warm as summer rain
I love the innocence, the honesty, the fun
And I guess my thoughts on this may one day change .. when I find the patience of a saint or the answer to my sum.

I want a world, where everything is wild!
But I'm held back by these commodities and styles
I want it all but perhaps I'm in denial
Come back and see me in the morning.

I have a loving family and many a good friend
I have a girl that I love like laughter
I'm still the baby in so many ways
But I just need less looking after

Now my friends have gone back home and my girl is working hard
My brother too, he's a real grafter
I was invited to a festival of fun
Song and drink and food and laughter

I had to decline, this here offer true and kind
These people sense something of my nature

But these past few years there is one thing I did find.

That solitude can be a saviour
