The Drums - Wild Geese lyrics

Back in those towns, as the stars come out People go to their homes and the lights come on I sigh with the trees and walk past the windows And feel the cold a little more than I did More than before I put my hands inside my pockets And wish that I were them But I don't know I was so sure But I'm not anymore Unless you stay close to me Like the wild geese That fly through the thunder Onward and upward Through the clouds Away from the rain And the wind that blows us down When the sky turns black When the wolves run back We'll just wait here for The first lights of morning You and me We're like those geese Out in the thunder Back in those towns, it's all familiar It's what I know But I was always on my own No-one beside me on train rides Through the countryside I put my hands inside my pockets And wish that I were them But I don't know I was so sure But I'm not anymore Now, you and me We're like the wild geese That fly through the thunder Onward and upward Through the clouds Away from the rain And the wind that blows us down When the sky turns black When the wolves run back We'll just wait here for The first lights of morning You and me We're like those geese Out in the thunder
