Against The Grain

G.Kooymans/B.Hay - Volksmusic

Once I dreamt I was falling, like a feather from a tree

The welcoming committee cheered, must have been a sight to see

Right there in the middle of a sweaty night in Rome

Someone showed a million feathers, how to be a bird on their own

Though we never got to flyin', I was woken by the phone

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train

It's a one way goin' against the grain

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train

It's a one way goin' against the grain

Once I thought I was flyin', had a taste of the witches seed

Got me so excited, couldn't get back on my feet

Then without a warning, soft whisper in my ear

If you feel like playin' honey, let's go get out of here

But we never got to playin', 'cause I passed out, out of fear

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train

It's a one way goin' against the grain

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train

It's a one way goin' against the grain
