In bleak and empty places
We can watch from a greater distance
The credulous delighting in every nation
Don't lose your sense of humor
Entertain the wildest thoughts
We can walk for miles and miles
Without seeing anybody
Some country rare and
Blessed away from this confusion
No message for the masses
Only you and me
The long winter is coming
And instinct is telling me to fly towards the south
I want to be in a place of beginnings, not endings
Forget all your belongings, leave the city
Come unto the ends of the earth with me
All our friends and relatives fell for neatly packaged policies
And we shuddered at the headline
Newsflash of the tensions in the Middle East
You know as well as I do detente can't last forever or overpopulation
Me? I'd rather watch, peace of mind is my priority
The long winter is coming
And instinct is telling me to fly towards the south
I want to be in a place of beginnings, not endings
Forget all your belongings, leave the city
Come unto the ends of the earth with me
