Lyrics Richard Ashcroft

Richard Ashcroft

(Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues Thing

how many days have I felt like this?

how strong am I?

it feels so good to be free

and I want you to know how I feel

you take me from the madness, the awe inspiring sadness

take me to the places where the air is clean

fill my heart with wonder, wake me from my slumber [I've been sleeping]

toss me to the ocean like a sinking stone

could be a city thing

could be a blues thing

could be a country thing

could be the real thing

took a walk over the rocks on the beach

and I was thinking of all the things that I have and can never be

and I was dreaming lazy along your head as

I watched the sunset

you take me from the madness, the awe inspiring sadness

show me faces that I need to know [I've been sinking]

throw me to the ocean like a stone, I will just fall in [and I'll be drowning]

heaven knows where this flood will go

could be a city thing

could be a blues thing

could be a country thing

could be the real thing

could be a city thing

could be a blues thing

could be a country thing

could be a me thing

think, could be a blues thing

think, could be the real thing

you take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness [ I've been sleeping]

take me to the places where the air is clean [and I've been drowning]

Fill my heart with wonder, wake me from my slumber [I've been sleeping]

back Into the ocean like a sinking stone [and Ivé been drowning]

lift me out of this logic leaves my heart grounded [I've been sleeping]

take me to the places where the air is clean [and I've been drowning]

meet me at the fountain, the one standin in the garden [you come listening]

I'll wash your hands as you just dance

stand by me

stand by me

my, my, my, my ,my, my, you're real fine
