Lyrics of Brook Fox – Countryside

A long and lonely road that I don’t want you to ride alone tonight
When will you come on home?
I can’t do this alone
By the old stone bridge where the water flows
A moment only you and I would know
It’s quiet this time of year
Now that you’re not here
You can taste the air, breathe it in
Names of the places we’d have been
Drinking in the park
Dancing in the dark
It’s been a year to the date
A month or two I might be late
Remembering the day
I wish would fade away…

I’ll take you back to the countryside
Where the buildings can’t occupy the night sky
I just want you by my side
I’ll take you back to the countryside
Where the breeze and the trees and the leaves reside
I can’t get you off my mind

Your change of heart that I recall
Word gets around a town so small
You took a city break and left my heart to ache
I pass the lake of skipping stones
Where we worked our wrist to the bone
Hours would start to fly
Yeah we were killing time

I’ll take you back to the countryside
Where the buildings can’t occupy the night sky
I just want you by my side
I’ll take you back to the countryside
Where the breeze and the trees and the leaves reside
I can’t get you off my mind

You took my heart and tore it in two
Tore it in two
That’s what a concrete jungle does to you
You took my heart and tore it in two
Tore it in two
Nothing new to you

I’ll take you back to the countryside
Where the buildings can’t occupy the night sky
I just want you by my side
I’ll take you back to the countryside
Where the breeze and the trees and the leaves reside
I can’t get you off my mind

You took my heart and tore it in two
Tore it in two
That’s what a concrete jungle does to you
You took my heart and tore it in two
Tore it in two
Nothing new to you
