Chasing The Real Things

I'm sitting down on the flight of stairs
From the porch up to the house
I don't know why
I guess I just need some time to think
Everyday now it has been the same
I bring my coffee and my blanked out head
I don't know why
I just like that it's quiet here
I'm watching the clouds above
Ships of mist in the sky
Sailing across an ocean of blue
- Oh oh..
Blackbirds sitting on the power cable
I've seen them building a nest in the barn
I don't know why
I guess they just need
roof overhead
There are even deer on the field
Walking around and sometimes looking at me
I don't know why
I guess they like that it's quiet here
I'm watching the clouds above..
- When I was a kid
I used to chill out on the field
In the breaks between handling summer hay
Some of the best days of my life
With my sisters and I
Helping our old man, and our mum
I'm sitting down on the flight of stairs
From the porch up to the house
I don't know why
I guess I just need some time to think
I'm watching the clouds above..
