From the recording The Hill
Lyrics
She takes a moment to breathe
Picks up here things off of the sidewalk
Hails a cab from the street
Says her goodbyes to buildings and signposts while nobody sees
But it’s always the same
She wishes to go, and still she remains
It would have been nice for a change
She takes a moment to be
Anything else, closes her eyelids
Packs her bags for the beach
Her toes in the sand, it’s close in her mind but it’s far out of reach
And it’s only a game
While she sits at her desk and stares at the rain
It would have been nice for a change
And all of this time she thinks she needs another world
There’s so much she never even sees in front of her
Shame she never knew
Lord, it’s a shame she never knew
She takes a moment to breath
Opens her eyes, stares in the mirror
Touches hand to her cheek
Cries as she does, she thought it’d be clearer as young as she was
But it’s always the same
There’s some things in life that never remain
Isn’t that nice for a change?
All of this time she thinks she needs another world
There’s so much she never even sees in front of her
Shame she never knew
Lord, it’s a shame she never knew
