You & The Universe Songtext
von Long Tall Jefferson

I look on open fields, hear the engine′s sound
The rattle of the wheels that carry me around
For miles and miles on rails I'm rolling

Outside the window pane, towns are passing by
They all look the same in the grey morning twilight
When everyone′s at home still sleeping


And I know to move on is to leave behind
As a new day comes to open up the blinds
But with all my restless body, soul & mind
I belong with you & the universe

I left before you woke, didn't make a sound
Didn't leave a note cause the words could not be found
I′m sorry I couldn′t give a reason

Now I'm sure you think I′m wrong, you think I was meant to stay
But how could I hold on when the feeling's gone away
You′ll be fine though now it don't seem easy


When the evening comes I will be very far
In a town that′s closer to the Northern Star
And I will sing this song in a dark and noisy bar
But I'll sing for you & the universe
