Side Of The Road

You wait in the car On the side of the road Let me go and stand awhile I wanna know you're there But I wanna be alone If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to live without you I wanna feel the touch of my own skin Against the sun against the wind I walked out into a field The grass was high And it brushed against my legs I just stood and looked out at the open space At a farmhouse out a little ways And wondered about the people who lived in it And I wondered if they were happy and content Were there children and a man and a wife And did she love him and Take her hair down at night If I stray too far from you Don't go and try to find me It doesn't mean that I don't love you If don't mean that I won't come back and Stay beside you It only means that I need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where the wild things grow To a place where I always used to go If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun against the wind
