You wait in the car on the side of the road Let me go and stand a while I want to know you're there, but I want to be alone If only for a minute or two I want to see what it feels like to leave without you I want to feel the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind I walked out in a field The grass was high and it brushed against my legs I just stood and looked out at the open space At a farmhouse out a little ways And I wondered about the people who lived in it And I wondered if they were happy and content Were there children and a man and a wife? And did she love him and take her hair down at night? If I stray too far from you Don't go and try to find me It doesn't mean that I don't love you It don't mean that I won't come back and stay beside you It only means that I need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where where the wild things grow To a place where I always used to go If only for a minute or two I want to see what it feels like to be without you I want to know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind
