Side Of The Road

You wait in the car on the side of the road Lemme go and stand awhile I wanna know you're there But I wanna be alone If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind I walked out in a field, the gra*s was high It brushed against my legs I just stood and looked out at the open space And a farmhouse out a ways And I wondered about the people who lived in it And I wondered if they were happy and content Were there children and a man and a wife? Did she love him and take her hair down at night? If I stray away too far from you Don't go and try to find me It doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I won't come back and stay beside you It only means, I need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where the wild things grow To a place where I used to always go If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind
