The Levellers - Far from Home Lyrics

It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean
The wood-smoke 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 the fire
We play guitar and played it 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 the fire
We play guitar and played it inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

It's cold 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'd always

Dance the dance that plays with the fire
We play guitar and played it inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

And we're so far from home
No means of return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

And we're so far from home
There's no means of return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

Oh and we're so far from home
No means to return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

And we're so far from home
No means to return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

And we're so far from home
No means to return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned, yes
