suzanne vega – first day out lyrics
here i am at last, i’ve just jumped off the train
i’m about to start my life as a wanderer in the rain
i know so many people would give anything to be in my shoes
well, that’s all right for them to say, but my shoes are soaked right through.
i don’t know what made me want to come all the way out here
i guess when i was dreaming, my skies were always clear
now i’m here in a meadow with the rain streaming through my hair
i guess this is what you call traveling freely, living without care.
here i am, all by myself, and i’ll admit i’m scared
all i’ve got is my guitar and a couple of dollars to spare
and i know even that’s not gonna last me long.
i suppose i could pick myself up and carry myself back home
but after what i put my folks through, i think i better stay alone.
anyhow, five years of aching are packed behind this plan
since i was ten, i’ve wanted to get out of the city and live out on the land.
my parents thought i was crazy and i think now maybe they’re right
but i can still feel the freedom in following the eagle’s flight.
i just had to come and see what all the songs were about
my hope is returning quickly and i don’t think there’s any doubt
that i’d better start moving if i want to get somewhere
i’ll go on to the next town and see what i find there
and stay a while until i go traveling on.
