Against The Grain (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1978 Grab It For A Second


Once I dreamt I was falling like a feather from a tree
The welcoming committee cheered, must have been a sight to see
Right there in the middle of a sweaty night in Rome
Someone showed a million feathers, how to be a bird on their own
But we never got to flyin’, I was woken by the phone


I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It’s a one way goin’ against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It’s a one way goin’ against the grain


Once I thought I was flyin’, had a taste of the witches seed
Got me so excited couldn’t get back on my feet
Then without a warning a soft whisper in my ear
If you feel like playin’ honey, let’s go get outta here
But we never got to playin’ ‘cause I passed out out of fear


I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It’s a one way goin’ against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It’s a one way goin’ against the grain


I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train

It’s a one way goin’ against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It’s a one way goin’ against the grain…
