In bleak and empty places we can watch from a greater distance    - the credulous delighting in every nation       Don't lose your sense of humour, entertain the wildest thoughts    We can walk for miles and miles without seeing anybody    Some country rare and blessed away from this confusion    No message for the masses only you and me       The long winter is coming and instinct is telling me to fly towards the south       I want to be in a place of beginnings, not endings!       Forget all your belongings - leave the city, come unto the ends of the earth with me       All our friends and relatives fell for neatly packaged policies    And we shuddered at the headline, newsflash of the tensions in the Middle East    You know as well as I do detente can't last forever    Or overpopulation    Me? I'd rather watch       Peace of mind is my priority       The long winter is coming and instinct is telling me to fly towards the south       I want to be in a place of beginnings, not endings!       Forget all your belongings - leave the city, come unto the ends of the earth with me
