You wait in the car on the side of the road

Let me go and stand a while

I want to know you're there but I wanna be alone

If only for a minute or two

I want to see what it feels like to be without you

I want to know the touch of my own skin

Against the sun against the wind

I walked out in a field

The grass was high

It brushed against my leg

I just stood and looked out at the open space

At a farmhouse out a ways

And I wonder about the people who lived in it

And I wonder if they were happy and content

And were there children and a man and a wife?

And did she love him and take her hair down at night

If I stray too far away from you

Don't go out 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 always used to go

La la la...

If only for a minute or two

I want to know what it feels to be without you

To know the touch of my own skin

Against the sun against the wind.
