Wild Geese - The Drums

Back in those towns, as the stars come out

People go to their homes and the lights come on

I sigh with the trees and walk past the windows

And feel the cold a little more than I did

More than before

I put my hands inside my pockets

And wish that I were them

But I don’t know

I was so sure

But I’m not anymore

Unless you stay close to me

Like the wild geese

That fly through the thunder

Onward and upward

Through the clouds

Away from the rain

And the wind that blows us down

When the sky turns black

When the wolves run back

We’ll just wait here for

The first lights of morning

You and me

We’re like those geese

Out in the thunder

Back in those towns, it’s all familiar

It’s what I know

But I was always on my own

No-one beside me on train rides

Through the countryside

I put my hands inside my pockets

And wish that I were them

But I don’t know

I was so sure

But I’m not anymore

Now, you and me

Were like the wild geese

That fly through the thunder

Onward and upward

Through the clouds

Away from the rain

And the wind that blows us down

When the sky turns black

When the wolves run back

We’ll just wait here for

The first lights of morning

You and me

We’re like those geese

Out in the thunder
