Print Version

Night was fallin', the horizon was callin', as we drove into the setting sun

Goin' back to that country that we still call home

Said good bye to the capital city, yeah this town has got me on the run

I need to spend some time out in the great unknown.

I'm lookin' for sweet inspiration, every morning noon and night

But these days it just keeps on passing me by,

I know you don't feel like making this journey, but you know that time is on my side

I can't go on living like a refugee

Way down south where the living is easy, we can look across the great divide

But all we've got is a pocketful of memories.

We stood on the motorway shoulder as the sun rose over the lowland hills

And my heart broke down, when I looked at you

Don't tell me you're leavin' me now, when you know how hard I've been tryin'

Darling you're my world, don't bring it all tumbling down

It's only the code of the road, and the sound of a motor wheel cryin'

Don't renege my love, don't bring it all tumbling down.

One more morning, yes another day dawning, and I'm looking at a bird that sings

Wish I could change my whole life, and just fly away

Over the mountains down through the valleys, through the homeland of the Celtic kings

Now it's just the frontline for the U.S.A..

We live in a time when the spirit of love and devotion is breakin' down

And my heart broke down when I looked at you

Don't tell me you're leavin' me now, when you know how hard I've been tryin'

Darling you're my world, don't bring it all tumbling down

It's only the code of the road, and the sound of a motor wheel cryin'

Don't renege my love, don't bring it all tumbling down.

Other Gerry Rafferty song Lyrics
Get It Right Next Time "Get It Right Next Time Gerry Rafferty Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand"..."	Baker Street "Winding your way down on Baker Street Light in your head and dead on your feet Well another crazy day You drink the night away..."
Moonlight And Gold "Moonlight and gold Midsummer magic when the night turns to day And songbirds greet the dawn You lie awake..."	Stuck In The Middle With You "Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs..."
Night Owl "Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows Down the street the neon light shines..."	Waiting for the Day "Well here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway..."
Right Down the Line "You know I need your love, You got that hold over me Long as I got your love, You know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line..."	Bring It All Home "I was lost on an endless sea Going down, going down, going down on an endless sea Sail with the wind, you weather the storm You bring it all home, bring it all home, you bring it all home...."
