being a young boy you think you understand heading for the open spaces ending up at the back of the line again this is how your head makes you move can you feel it now try to understand the past so unprepared for this you can see it now when you're out there on you own needing nothing or no one chequered little greens fade into the horizon on such a clear day you can see all the way as it grows and ends when you dive in to the cold one final time can you feel it now try to understand the past so unprepared for this you can see it now when you're out there on you own needing nothing or no one you need no one still when you're old solitude is all so stay right here - tonight can you feel it now try to understand the past so unprepared for this you can see it now when you're out there on you own needing nothing or no one
