lyrics

MOTHER NATURE

I STARE DOWN AT MY FEET
THAT LOOK AS IF THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THE COUNTRY FOR SO LONG
THEY WALK THE CITY STREET
THAT FEELS A MILLION MILES FROM WHERE THEY RAN WHEN I WAS YOUNG

THEY USED TO LOVE TO FEEL
THE GRASS ON ALL THE FIELDS ON ALL THE HILLS AROUND MY HOME
A NATURAL APPEAL
I DIDNT CARE AT ALL IF I WAS OUT THERE ON MY OWN

AND NOW I LIFT MY HEAD
TO FEEL IM THERE AGAIN

WHEN THERES GREY ABOVE ME I CAN SEE ITS MOTHER NATURE
IN THE RAIN AND IN THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE CITY SCRAPER
AND I THINK ABOUT MY YOUNGER DAYS AND I REMEMBER
RUNNING IN THE HILLS SURROUNDED BY MY MOTHER NATURE

AND NOW I LIFT MY HEAD
TO FEEL IM THERE AGAIN

A SIMPLE MEMORY
AS FRESH AS ALL THE AIR THAT USED TO WHISTLE ROUND MY EARS
THE LANCASHIRE COUNTRY
THE VALLEYS AND THE HILLS THAT WERE MY HOME FOR ALL THOSE YEARS

AND NOW I LIFT MY HEAD
TO FEEL IM THERE AGAIN

WHEN THERES GREY ABOVE ME I CAN SEE ITS MOTHER NATURE
IN THE RAIN AND IN THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE CITY SCRAPER
AND I THINK ABOUT MY YOUNGER DAYS AND I REMEMBER
RUNNING IN THE HILLS SURROUNDED BY MY MOTHER NATURE
WHEN THERES GREY ABOVE ME I CAN SEE ITS MOTHER NATURE
IN THE RAIN AND IN THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE CITY SCRAPER
AND I THINK ABOUT MY YOUNGER DAYS AND HOW I LOVED HER
RUNNING IN THE HILLS SURROUNDED BY MY MOTHER NATURE

AND NOW I LIFT MY HEAD
TO FEEL IM THERE AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN
