Lyrics
I watch a weary old man with his breifcase
I observe an exhausted elderly man carrying his briefcase.
Each year of city life a wrinkle on his tired face
Each year of city life leaves a mark, a wrinkle, on his tired face.
Is this the man that I will turn into
The narrator wonders if this worn-out man is a glimpse of their future self.
Then I think of you
The narrator reflects on their thoughts about someone special (possibly a romantic partner).
Somewhere accross the city you are on a train
Somewhere in the city, the person mentioned in line 4 is traveling by train.
Looking at a wrinkled lady
They observe an elderly lady with wrinkles on the train.
We should get out of here baby
Expressing a desire to leave the city, suggesting a joint decision with the mentioned person.
We'll take the road out to the countyside my dear
Planning to escape to the countryside with the mentioned person.
Where the mountains go forever and the birds are always near
Describing the beauty of the countryside with eternal mountains and constant presence of birds.
We'll build a better life
Envisioning a better life to be built in the countryside.
We'll leave the city far behind us
Committing to leaving the city far behind.
Living where the outside world will never find us
Imagining a life away from the outside world's influence.
