If I move like light
I can leave this town
Catch the midnight train
Head for northern ground
In the distance I can see an anxious girl
Walking on the tracks in a stagnant world
Ten years pa**
She once laid her head
On a neighbour's step
Waking in the red
Like ancient times, with silent walls
In a darkened tomb, fastened to the stall
If I move like light
I can leave this town
If I move like light
Head for northern ground
By a moonlit window
So the farmer creeps
As he walks along
Hears the moaning sheep
In the distance, he can hear a daughter's cry
Through the thickening brush, tries to run and hide
Vice
Caught between right and wrong
The mother hangs her head to a solemn song
Gripped in her hands
Hold solid steel
In a foreign form
Where sorrow is healed
If I move like light
I can leave this town
If I move like light
Head for northern ground
If I move like light
I can leave this town
If I move like light
Head for northern ground
If I move like light
