Country Mile - Johnny Flynn, Krono

I’ve walked in the fields, and I’ve trod light for days

Seems I’ll do that old rag, takes me all kinds of ways

Except the way I’d be headed if I knew where I was going

But I’m from the country, and it’s better not knowing

And I’ve only got so near (Illuminate me)

And I’ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)

And I’ll walk another country mile

I’ll see another star

The poplars and willows and birds pass me by

The mould of the earth to the space in the sky

Free from my roots and I’m lost in the wind

Wind on the mountain, and the mountain’s my friend

And I’ve only got so near (Illuminate me)

And I’ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)

And I’ll walk another country mile

I’ll see another star

Hemlock and yew have me toeing the line

Questions come knocking;

I’ll answer in time

But the seams of the soil unravel with ease

Nose to the road, and I’m painfully free

And I’ve only got so near (Illuminate me)

And I’ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)

And I’ll walk another country mile

I’ll see another star

Call me the wind in the hole

Blowing my way to the call

I’ll dust up the days 'til I’ve gone every way

No less and I’ve never wanted more

More, more.

Lost on the bough in a golden refrain

Sleep goes away and the day comes again

But the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof

I’ll be this young choice till I’m long in the tooth

And I’ve only got so near (Illuminate me)

And I’ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)

And I’ll walk another country mile

I’ll see another star

And I’ve only got so near (Illuminate me)

And I’ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)

And I’ll walk another country mile

I’ll see another star

Illuminate me

Illuminate me…
