Fifth song on We Were Here, the sixth Turin Brakes album. Inspired by an older TB song called, America, but way lovelier ;).
My feet touch down
In a border town
No one knows me here
My long distance fears
Have long disappeared
Only a clear horizon
Born optimistic
The old familiar feeling
Like a stone,
Overgrown I am
Part of this world
America, a miracle
Those roads saved my soul
They kept my mouth talking
They kept my spirit walking
No one could stop this now
Born optimistic
The old familiar feeling
Like a stone,
Overgrown, I am
Part of this world
Feel the sun
Feel the rain, I am
Part of the world
Where will I go
The time that the lights low
I’ll drift through the air
And tie the horizon
And stay part of the world
Just stay part of the world
Just stay part of the world
Like a stone
Overgrown I am
Part of the world
Feel the sun
Feel the rain, I am
Part of the world
