[Verse 1]

I moved my mouth like I had something to say

An empty silence filled my room

I should have listened to dear mother say

New fangled cities aren't for you

[Chorus]

Those pastures and me

Never kept good company

And all that in between

It was closer than it seemed

[Verse 2]

I took some time to find a quiet place

My nerves were shot by afternoon

I beat my knuckles in an honest way

I felt it something I should prove

[Chorus]

Those pastures and mе

Never kept good company

And all that in bеtween

It was closer than it seemed

[Verse 3]

These city people wear their smiles in chains

Like worn-out ghosts haunting my room

White stoic figures seeming unashamed

Perhaps I played my part too soon

[Chorus]

Those pastures and me

Never kept good company

And all that in between

It was closer than it seemed
