Far from Home - The Levellers

It’s warm by the river, the weir keeps us cleen

The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need

Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke

Kicking the dust so that we can just

Dance the dance that plays with fire

Play guitar and play inspired

You said you would leave not ever

Underneath the sky forever

It’s cool by the sea when the pavement is hot

We take a walk down there to see what we’ve got

An old man collecting fifty beautiful words

Cleaning the beach so that he can teach us to

Dance the dance that plays with fire

Play guitar and play inspired

You said you would leave not ever

Underneath the sky forever

It’s cool by the pane glass on the high street we played

But there’s always a penny in the music we made

So far from home, and no means of return

Burning the bridges, so we always

Dance the dance that plays with fire

Play guitar and play inspired

You said you would leave not ever

Underneath the sky forever

We’re so far from home

No means of return

There’s so much that we have done

And so much we have learned

We’re so far from home

No ways to return

There’s so much that we have done

And so much we have learned
