Written whilst living at Embercombe in Devon some years back. It's a call for us to step out of the pace of modern life and find sanity in the natural world.
lyrics
Won't you come away from the street lights?
Take a chance to play on the flip side?
Lead yourself away from the fast life?
Start a brand new day in the sunshine?
The city lights are growing tired
and longing for the soft dark balm of night
Beneath the feet and busy rides
Heavy streets are aching for some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
(Chorus)
This civil guise you hold so high
Is bonafide as eastern sales advise
Beneath the ties and high brow smiles
City skins are itching for the naked sky
The naked sky
The more you build your towers high
The more they're sure to fall
To make a leap you've got to leave
Betray the callous confines of your walls
