East

(album: The Line - 2009)

Throw away your kitchen sink
There's nothing to eat and nothing to think
I've been around now, yes
I think I've been through
I know the me and I know the you

I'll go west, because my true love is east
I know best, and you can't stop me
I'll go west, 'cause the city is clinging to my feet
The country earth is wet with snow
I have been digging hard and I've been digging
Slow

It froze me out two years ago
But still I want my love below
There's no hope, the city life is all a gamble
And, well, you know, that you and I were meant to ramble
If I go, will you know?

The ceiling lights have bruised your face
Your wings are tattered, your feather's a disgrace
You are a bird that needs your space
But I want your heart, just in case
I'll go west, because my true love is east
