The Hard Move

Long ago our World was better, free from
the worry and the struggle we have today.
A great old country farmhouse became
our sanctuary, our Shangri-la.
You and I would run through the fields
And at night the stars were endless.
And after a while, well,
after that while the land didn't work as hard
and
the well ran dry
and things just didn't work out so
it was time for a move.
But things are different here. The money
has run short and the times are hard.
The city is no place for a dog and
you can only see the stars if your luck is right
and the traffic is slow.
There are no fields here, no
endless forests, nothing but a maze
of never-ending roads and street signs and
to put it bluntly:
I'm homesick.
