Far From Home
The Levellers Lyrics

It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean
We are spending time by the river where the weir acts a filter, keeping the water clean and warm.

The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need
With the company of our friends, cigarettes and the smell of burning wood is enough to satisfy us.

Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke
We are leaving our mark on the ground by writing simple messages using twigs as our writing utensil.

Kicking the dust so we can just
We kick the dust as an expression of freedom, doing what we want without any consequences.

Dance the dance that plays with fire
We are dancing wildly to the beat of the music, completely uninhibited and carefree.

Play guitar and play it inspired
As we dance and sing, we are inspired by the music and the moment, allowing ourselves to be in the present.

You said that you would leave not ever
We have made a promise not to leave each other's side because of the strong bond that we share.

Underneath the sky forever
We want to enjoy this moment forever, never wanting it to end as we are under the vast expanse of the sky.

It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot
We have moved to the beach where the sea breeze cools us down from the hot pavement of the city.

We take a walk down there to see what we've got
We walk along the shoreline, observing the beauty of the sea and the potential adventures that lay ahead.

An old man collecting fifty beautiful words
An elderly gentleman we met on the beach is collecting words that he finds beautiful.

Cleaning the beach so he can teach us to
He is cleaning the beach to show us its beauty and to teach us to appreciate nature.

It's cold by the pane glass on the high street we played
We are now in a city setting where the temperature is colder, playing music on the street for anyone who will listen.

But there's always a penny in the music we made
We may not make much money, but the music we play means everything to us and those who listen.

So far from home with no means of return
We are far from the comfort of our own homes and have no plan to return anytime soon.

Burning bridges, so we always
We are abandoning our old life and the people in it to pursue a life of freedom and music. We are always moving forward.

We're so far from home
We are in a completely different place than where we grew up, physically and mentally.

No need to return
We don't feel the need to return to the place we left behind, as we are content with our new life.

There's so much that we have taught
Through our experiences and music, we have taught ourselves and others about life and the pursuit of happiness.

And so much that we have learned
Our new life has taught us a lot about ourselves and what we are capable of, making us stronger and more confident than ever before.
