Side of the Road (Alternate Cello Version)

Side of the Road (Alternate Cello Version) - Ben Folds

You wait in the car

On the side of the road

Let me go and stand a while

I want to know you're there

But I want to be alone

If only for a minute or two

I want to see what it feels like to leave without you

I want to feel the touch of my own skin

Against the sun against the wind

I walked out in a field

The grass was high and it brushed against my legs

I just stood and looked out at the open space

At a farm outside a little ways

And I wondered about the people who lived in it

And I wondered if they were happy and content

Were there children and a man and a wife

And did she love him and take her hair down at night

If I stray to far from you

Don't go and try to find me

It doesn't mean that I don't love you

And don't mean that I won't come back and stay beside you

It only means that I need a little time

To follow that unbroken line

To a place where the wild things grow

To a place where I always used to go

If only for a minute or two

I want to see what it feels like to leave without you

I want to feel the touch of my own skin

Against the sun against the wind
