about

Theme song to living off the grid! Which I delightedly did for the next 5 years.

lyrics

I'll tunnel under the reeds by the riverbank
and sleep in the boughs of a fallen pine
and in the darkness I'm just a shadow creature
leaving all my sins behind.

Run from the dogs
Run from the men
Run from the life that follows them
Because these big hands were
never meant to be a link in your chain.

I'd rather trust in the heart of a killer
Than believe all the lies in a scholar's brain
I am strange and I have been reckless
But I've never been insane.

Will you remember me when I've been gone a couple years or more?
Will you still recall my face when I've been living in the woods?

I'm not sorry for what I've done
So I'll tunnel under the reeds by the riverbank
and sleep in the boughs of a fallen pine
and in the darkness I'm just a shadow creature
Leaving all my sins behind
Run from the lights burning so bright
I'm better off in the pale moonlight
because these big hands were
never meant to be a link in your chain
And when a wave of earth rolls in to cover you
and when your city falls into the sea
You'll wish that you remembered where I run off to
But you're not welcome here with me
