Where are you going to my friend
Said I'm going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they're out there somewhere
Did you hear about the girl
Alone in the world
Thought she was losing her mind
She found it in the discarded refuse pile
Down near the railroad line
A book of sonnets torn and tattered
A few remained intact
One held the key, she said to me
To getting some feeling back
Sometimes my head turns round and round
Sometimes you talk but I can't hear a sound
Sometimes I look down, find my feet off the ground
I feel that I'm somewhere else bound
Hey Now, where are you going
Where are you going to my friend
Said I'm going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they're out there somewhere
She looked down the railroad tracklined with trees on each side
She prayed for the strength to run to the boxcar
To pull herself up for the ride
You invite me to your house - you're so sincere
We sit so close for a while
You reach out for me in the low light so clear
But you look like you're frowning when you smile
Hanging around just to see what could happen
Hanging on by oh, the thinnest thread
Sometimes I see the faintest glimpse
Sometimes I feel I'd be better off in bed
Hey Now, where are you going
Where are you going to my friend
Said I'm going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they're out there somewhere
Hey Now, where are you going Where are you going to my friend Said I'm going out to find The pastures of plenty I believe they're out there somewhere Did you hear about the girl Alone in the world Thought she was losing her mind She found it in the discarded refuse pile Down near the railroad line A book of sonnets torn and tattered A few remained intact One held the key, she said to me To getting some feeling back Sometimes my head turns round and round Sometimes you talk but I can't hear a sound Sometimes I look down, find my feet off the ground I feel that I'm somewhere else bound Hey Now, where are you going Where are you going to my friend Said I'm going out to find The pastures of plenty I believe they're out there somewhere She looked down the railroad tracklined with trees on each side She prayed for the strength to run to the boxcar To pull herself up for the ride You invite me to your house - you're so sincere We sit so close for a while You reach out for me in the low light so clear But you look like you're frowning when you smile Hanging around just to see what could happen Hanging on by oh, the thinnest thread Sometimes I see the faintest glimpse Sometimes I feel I'd be better off in bed Hey Now, where are you going Where are you going to my friend Said I'm going out to find The pastures of plenty I believe they're out there somewhere Explain Request ×
