Far From Home Lyrics - Levellers

It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean 

The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need 

Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke 

Kicking the dust so we can just 

Dance the dance that plays with fire 

Play guitar and play it inspired 

You said that you would leave not ever 

Underneath the sky forever 

It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot 

We take a walk down there to see what we've got 

An old man collecting fifty beautiful words 

Cleaning the beach so he can teach us to 

Dance the dance that plays with fire 

Play guitar and play it inspired 

You said that you would leave not ever 

Underneath the sky forever 

It's cold by the pane glass on the high street we played 

But there's always a penny in the music we made 

So far from home with no means of return 

Burning bridges, so we always 

Dance the dance that plays with fire 

Play guitar and play it inspired 

You said that you would leave not ever 

Underneath the sky forever 

We're so far from home 

No need to return 

There's so much that we have taught 

And so much that we have learned
