I had never seen the snow Never sailed upon the seas
I was busy making plans To build a fortress in the trees ♪ I'd ride my bicycle
Down the lane and back again ♪ Talking to the birds And my imaginary friends ♪ And i'd want to run away
Go as far as i could see ♪ But i'd always turn around To find familiarity Right where it should be ♪ I'll be gone running on the mile ♪ I am moving on ♪ I do not know where i will go ♪ But i'm beckoned by the sky In the river down below ♪ I've only got one pair of shoes
Comforting these weary feet Cos a man who owns too much Is like a song without a beat Left feeling incomplete ♪ I'll be gone running on the mile
