The Railway Children — Native Place lyrics

Lyrics

Outside in the street
You want to turn your face and say
This could make a picture photograph
It never used to look this way
In a native place
You can hide away
In a native place
You can hide away
Beyond the tracks you go
With your idle awkward ways
Locked the boy up long ago
Such a frightening change
In a native place
You can hide away
In a native place
You can hide away
And the dreamers come and go
And you turn and hear them say
You could write a book or make a map
Recollect this way
In a native place
You can hide away
In a native place
You can hide
