Exiles Lyrics - Singles - King Crimson

Now in this faraway land 

Strange that the palms of my hands 

Should be damp with expectancy 

Spring, and the air's turning mild 

City lights and the glimpse of a child 

Of the alleyway infantry 

Friends - do they know what I mean? 

Rain and the gathering green 

Of an afternoon out of town 

But lord I had to go 

The trail was laid too slow behind me 

To face the call of fame 

Or make a drunkard's name for me 

Though now this better life 

Has brought a different understanding 

And from these endless days 

Shall come a broader sympathy 

And though I count the hours 

To be alone's no injury
