LYRICS

Are you leaving for the country?
You say the city brings you down
Leave the iron cloud behind and feel the circus moving on
Are you leaving for the country?
I know a little country town
Where dogs are sleeping in the cold and the flagpole's falling down

Hi and Fine
Sold the Wheel and Time
Spread their weight and let the planet spin
Do you feel like something's not real?
Let the spirit move you again
Are you leaving for the country?

Do you feel like something's not real?
Let the Spirit move you again
Are you leaving for the country?

You say the city brings you down
Leave the Iron cloud behind and feel the circus moving on

Mmmmm MM Mmmm

Hmmm HMhm HMmmm Mm
