Out in the Country Lyrics

Out In The Country
Artist or band: Hall Kristen
-----------------------------------------------
Delta flight 1539 departing 9:15
taking me to northern skies
a place i've never seen
circle 'round and touch the ground
twenty steps to greet me
I guess things are different here
out in the country
here you come a flash of blue
our eyes diverting
neither knowing what to do
it's disconcerting
and driving home you held my hand
as you debriefed me
thought i'd found my promise land
out in the country
sleeping in the garden house
candle-lit and cozy
sharing thoughts and gifts we bought
all the world seemed rosey
eager i embraced your pleas
as you catechized me
we don't eat me we don't eat cheese
out in the country
love was fresh like vegetables
everything seemed healthy
life was rich and made me feel
prosperous and wealthy
bergamot and arnica
how the smell can send me
lying there beside the fire
out in the country
deep breathing, sun shining,
moonlight caressing the ground
caught in a deep freeze and
oh how it moved me
take me from the city lights
on a shiny amtrak train
riding up the riverside
bring me home to you again
brew me up some twinings tea
tell me that you love me
hold me safe inside your arms
out in the country
i don't know how it disappeared
manifesting treason
fell apart like leaves from trees
with the change of season
and for the heartache and the scars
I have my memories
of making love under the stars
out in the country
. . .out in the country
