Richard Ashcroft — (Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues Thing lyrics

Lyrics

how many days have i felt like this?
how strong am i?
it feels so good to be free
and i want you to know how i feel
you take me from the madness, the awe inspiring sadness
take me to the places where the air is clean
fill my heart with wonder, wake me from my slumber
toss me to the ocean like a sinking stone
could be a city thing
could be a blues thing
could be a country thing
could be the real thing
took a walk over the rocks on the beach
and I was thinking of all the things that I have and can never be and I was dreaming lazy along your head as i watched the sunset
you take me from the madness, the awe inspiring sadness
show me faces that I need to know
throw me to the ocean like a stone, i will just fall in heaven knows where this flood will go could be a city thing
could be a blues thing
could be a country thing
could be the real thing
could be a city thing
could be a blues thing
could be a country thing
could be a me thing
think, could be a blues thing
think, could be the real thing
you take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness
take me to the places where the air is clean
Fill my heart with wonder, wake me from my slumber
back Into the ocean like a sinking stone
lift me out of this logic leaves my heart grounded
take me to the places where the air is clean
meet me at the fountain, the one standin in the garden
I’ll wash your hands as you just dance
stand by me stand by me my, my, my, my, my, my, you’re real fine
