Side Of The Road

You wait in the car on the side of the road Let me go and stand awhile I want to know you're there But I want to be alone If only for a minute or two I want to see what it feels like to be without you I want to know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind I walked out in a field The grass was high, it brushed against my legs I just stood and looked out at the open space And a farmhouse out a ways And I wondered about the people who lived in it And I wondered if they were happy and content Were there children and a man and a wife? Did she love him and take her hair down at night? If I stray away too far from you Don't go and try to find me It doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I won't come back and stay beside you It only means I need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where the wild things grow To a place where I used to always go La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind
