Native Place
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.
Outside in the street
You want to turn your face and say
This could make a picture photograph
It never used to look this way
In a native place
You can hide away
In a native place
You can hide away
Beyond the tracks you go
With your idle awkward ways
Locked the boy up long ago
Such a frightening change
In a native place
You can hide away
In a native place
You can hide away
And the dreamers come and go
And you turn and hear them say
You could write a book or make a map
Recollect this way
In a native place
You can hide away
In a native place
You can hide
