Suzanne Vega - First Day Out
Here I Am At Last, I've Just Jumped Off The Train
I'm About To Start My Life As A Wanderer In The Rain
I Know So Many People Would Give Anything To Be In My Shoes
Well, That's All Right For Them To Say, But My Shoes Are Soaked Right Through.
I Don't Know What Made Me Want To Come All The Way Out Here
I Guess When I Was Dreaming, My Skies Were Always Clear
Now I'm Here In A Meadow With The Rain Streaming Through My Hair
I Guess This Is What You Call Traveling Freely, Living Without Care.
Here I Am, All By Myself, And I'll Admit I'm Scared
All I've Got Is My Guitar And A Couple Of Dollars To Spare
And I Know Even That's Not Gonna Last Me Long.
I Suppose I Could Pick Myself Up And Carry Myself Back Home
But After What I Put My Folks Through, I Think I Better Stay Alone.
Anyhow, Five Years Of Aching Are Packed Behind This Plan
Since I Was Ten, I've Wanted To Get Out Of The City And Live Out On The Land.
My Parents Thought I Was Crazy And I Think Now Maybe They're Right
But I Can Still Feel The Freedom In Following The Eagle's Flight.
I Just Had To Come And See What All The Songs Were About
My Hope Is Returning Quickly And I Don't Think There's Any Doubt
That I'd Better Start Moving If I Want To Get Somewhere
I'll Go On To The Next Town And See What I Find There
And Stay A While Until I Go Traveling On.
