Against The Grain

(album: Grab It For A Second - 1978)

Once I dreamt I was falling, like a feather from a tree
The welcoming committee cheered, must have been a sight to see
Right there in the middle of a sweaty night in Rome
Someone showed a million feathers, how to be a bird on their own
Though we never got to flying, I was woken by the phone

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way going against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way going against the grain

Once I thought I was flying, had a taste of the witches seed
Got me so excited, couldn't get back on my feet
Then without a warning, soft whisper in my ear
If you feel like playing honey, let's go get out of here
But we never got to playing, 'cause I passed out, out of fear

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way going against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way going against the grain
