Left the city for a lost romance
Left the city with blood on my hands
Falling like the leaves from the sycamore
Running like a thief through an open door

The countryside looks pretty at night
Everything calm in the pale blue light
Awake to see the break of dawn
I've been awake now for far too long

But I’m alive, I’m alive
But I’m alive, I’m alive

Screaming and a-shouting at the top of my lungs
The fog in the paddock and a new born sun
Walking all night just to clear my mind
'Cause 25 years is a lot of time

But I’m alive, I’m alive
But I’m alive, I’m alive

But I’m alive, I’m alive
But I’m alive, oh
But I’m alive, oh
