strawbs – the plain lyrics
the plain stretched out before me as far as the slate grey sky
i told her i was leaving with the migrant birds to fly
i said she might expect me with the coming of the spring
when the birds return back home again with new-found songs to sing.
i hit out on the highway, high on the rising sun
i felt my spirit rising, my journey was newly begun
the joy of expectation rose in my heart with a song
the courage of conviction carried my journey along.
i bathed in the lake of comfort, the milk of my mother’s breast
the son of constant sorrow sank to his knees in the west
i prayed to my god for guidance to find there was no-one but me
there was just the open highway as far as my eyes could see.
throughout my endless journey i have been searching for paradise lost
i now retrace my footsteps with the burden of infinite cost
i see myself returning alone with my head held high
the plain stretched out before me as far as the slate grey sky.
