In The Midst Of Blue And Green

(album: Inland - 2008)

It's time you start packing up
It's time you start packing up
It's time you start packing up

Pack your clothes and your guitar
Pack your clothes and your guitar
Pack your clothes and your guitar

On the bench, it's harvest time
Hunched over the dangling keys
Got my hands in the ivory earth
I'm working the brass with my feet

I've been living by you so long
Does that make it so wrong
That the world that I loved bears your name?

I've been living by you so long
Does that make it so wrong
That the world that I loved bears your name?

Now, it don't have to be
Don't go crying to the sea
That my tears are flooding over the plain

It don't have to be
Don't go crying to the sea
That my tears are flooding over the plain

Don't think it's all your fault
I don't sew the soil with salt
It's just my tears are flooding over the plain
It don't take years to get over this sort of pain
