Loudon Wainwright III Lyrics

"Between" lyrics


Between the forest and the ocean lies a lonely strand
The ocean is your mother, and the forest Fatherland.
You are standing on that empty beach not knowing where to go-o
Out to sea or else inland, your whole life you don't know.

In between the earth and sky there is an atmosphere
Feet on the ground your head up high, but you are stuck right here.
You're in between your whole life long what happens when you di-ie?
Down below is Mother Earth, your father dwells on high.

Honour thy father, and thy mother,
Though they're not the same, and one pits you 'gainst the other,
It's the cruellest game,
You are stuck and you are stranded, you must live until you di-ie.
At home in forest and in ocean, worship earth and sky.
At home in forest and in ocean, worship earth and sky!
