Alone Awhile

I think it's time to be alone for a while
Unhitch the halter from my unsteady mind
Take a slow wander to soothe the sting in my spine
Yes, I reckon it's time to be alone for a while

I think I'll go to the countryside
Take myself a long walk and watch the bird fly
Leave the scrape and the scream of the city behind
Yes, I reckon it's time to be alone for a while

I think I'll go to where the clocks don't chime
Listen to leaves underfoot as the glades pass by
From the crackle of beech to the silence of pine
Yes, I reckon it's time to be alone for a while

When I feel all caught up in a close cage of time
Can't measure my life by the pace of my stride
Want to break or to bruise but don't know what to fight
Well I, I, well I reckon it's time to be alone for a while

I'd like to go where I can watch the sea sigh
It's colours up into the wide wing of the sky
And the treasures of the smooth shell-shingle-shore
Whisper sweet nothings of chaos and order
To fingers that tingle and taste of brine
Yes, I reckon it's time to be alone for a while
