We're Out On Our Own

Nobody is thinking about joining

Joining in with her and him

Well wall flowers are peeling

Off the wall again this evening

For her and him

Coming here in winter well it's not much to look at

I've been running 'round the woods with somebody stuck fast

To my side there's a meadow with a brook and a bridge

That I have seen once before but I can't think where now

And the dream in the ward was wintry and upright

So we pulled up the drawbridge and scissored our frostbite

With a fire made of birch twigs, silkworms and ermine

I've heard this once before but I can't think where now

I'm not convinced I remain

In my castle high above the town

O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own

We're out on our own

Everybody is feeling

Feeling themselves again

And it's great to have you you around

Ages, that's how long it's been

Since you last sailed through town

Being here in summer well it's not much to look at

Freisan middle distance is always dead flat

To our side there's an inlet with sails and peaks

That I have seen once before but I can't think where now

And the castle on the hill was somewhere quite different

We had stones in our sandals and the sun hit the steps

The black pines on the slope were always dripping with sap

I'd smelled it once before but I can't think where now

So cottontail don't complain

When I curl up beneath your feet

O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own

We're out on our own
You're not convinced yet you remain
In our castle high above the town
O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own
We're out on our own
So cottontail won't you stay
In this hutch I built high above the town
O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own
We're out on our own
