Old paper factory town.
The air smells of boiling cabbage,
and even when the sun shines
the cold air could chill your bones.

Thereโ€™s not much more to do than sit around, counting our fingers.
Nobody can make it very far -
theyโ€™re either too old or too high.

Three headless horsemen stand guard before the ungrateful.

Maybe I donโ€™t need to find my place.

Maybe anywhere could be my place,
as long as I am in your arms.
