On Sussex Downs. Lyrics

I could breather so deep,
The glorious backdrop of my eyes ached,
I smiled until it hurt,
The centre of the field was at peace!

For today I am a wild creature,
And tomorrow I will be lost again.

I threw my shoes to the right,
I flung my socks to the left,
My shirt came off,
I fed it to a cow!

I carried on forever,
My feet were idle lovers together.
