lyrics

Catching a train to the country
Like we used to do
Remembering Lynne holding my trembling hand
Walking alone in the country
With Lynne by my side
The trees, the air, the old familiar paths

CHORUS:
And on these walks
I’d sometimes say
This is as good as it gets
This is as good as it gets
This is the world we live in
With all its problems
And certainly this
Is as good as it
Gets

I never thought it would happen
That Lynne would pass me by
We always thought that I would happen first
But here I am in the country
Our is house is not the same
It’s here I feel the most like I’m with her

REPEAT CHORUS

I see something in the distance
Somebody’s bright red shirt
I’m first on the scene, a girl lying dead in the grass
I don’t know what to do for a minute
She and I, we’re both
Completely still, except for my trembling hand
(break)
Standing alone in the country
Lynne has long since gone
She’s disappeared, I really need her by my side
I consider leaving the country
And never coming back
Retrace my steps, the secret I can hide

REPEAT CHORUS
