about

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?
