Native Place - The Railway Children

Outside in the street

You want to turn your face and say

This could make a picture photograph

It never used to look this way

In a native place

You can hide away

In a native place

You can hide away

Beyond the tracks you go

With your idle awkward ways

Locked the boy up long ago

Such a frightening change

In a native place

You can hide away

In a native place

You can hide away

And the dreamers come and go

And you turn and hear them say

You could write a book or make a map

Recollect this way

In a native place

You can hide away

In a native place

You can hide
