Lyndsay Pruett's atmospheric violin elevates this one to a higher plane.
The end of the track is intended to blend seamlessly into the beginning of County Line, the album's second track. Not for any good reason or anything.
lyrics
I thought I'd go to Israel, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Ancient and alive, they called me home
Dust of age-old asteroids on the closet shelf
centuries of silences, singing to myself
Go, go, pack up your things. The world is spinning out your time.
You'd better go
It's not the place you're running to, it's where you're running from.
Try to shed your shaky skin, you'll grow another one
It's not the village naming you, or inner-city crush
taking all your names away, coating you with dust
Dust of age-old asteroids, and discarded skin
Mingled, thick as thieves, keeps the silence in
Go, go, pack up your things. The world is spinning out your time.
You'd better go
I thought I'd go to India, Belfast and Beijing. If I stay, if I stay
Who's teaching me to sing?
