a favorite song of mine... ( lyrics only) opinions asked = )

[Eriksmasque]

Hey everyone, since I don't know how to post the videos in a way that I won't have my post edited, I thought I'd post the lyrics to a favorite song of mine. let me know what you think. I think it's one of the most gorgeous songs ever. ( my respect to anyone that can name the lyricist without looking it up. = ) )



Out In The Country

Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a bit of room to move
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime...

I stand alone...

That song has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it back in 1970. Three Dog Night performed the song. As for who wrote it, I'd think members of Three Dog Night did*... or maybe Paul Williams, since he wrote tons of songs back then, including Three Dog Night's "Just An Old Fashioned Love Song."

*Highly unlikely since the majority of their songs were written by others... "Mama Told Me Not To Come" by Randy Newman and "One" by Nilsson, for example.
