Lyrics
City Hermit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My pastures and my fields
are made of stone
Steel trees and nameless beasts
please leave me alone
Don't question the way I see
my eyes are my own
City hermit me
The way I want to be
Solitary face among the crowd
City hermit me
The way I want to be
My hopes are man-made cans
Ten feet from the ground
Flowers beneath my feet
they're travellin' sound
Abundance of flesh and steel
but no-one around
/// City hermit me
The way I want to be
Solitary face among the crowd ///
