Juveniles Lyrics
You're with someone else
Tomorrow night
Doesn't matter to me
Cause as the sun dies
into the hill
You got all I need
You pulled a blanket across my eyes (?)
It's a tragedy
Take a lonely/long(?) look, for my sake
It's a tragedy
Oh country air
Is good for me
No matter who's side I'm on
Let these dead leaves
Dry in the sun
I'll be up and gone
There's a stranger outside
Oh Lord!
He's a wiser man than I
Oh Lord
I am a good man
By any count
And I see better things to come
Could she be right?
When she repeats
I am the lucky one
You're one of us
Or one of them!
(x4)
Tomorrow night
Doesn't matter to me
into the hill
You got all I need
It's a tragedy
Take a lonely/long(?) look, for my sake
It's a tragedy
Is good for me
No matter who's side I'm on
Dry in the sun
I'll be up and gone
Oh Lord!
He's a wiser man than I
Oh Lord
By any count
And I see better things to come
When she repeats
I am the lucky one
Or one of them!
(x4)

this is my very approximate guess... I've marked parts I couldn't understand with (?).. feel free to correct/edit/whatever! :)
"Take a long look for my sake", maybe?
For the meaning of the song, the whole set of lyrics sound as if it is about children during times of war, which explains the title. "Country air is good for me, no matter whose side I'm on" sort of makes sense in that context. I'm probably wrong though, this is my first ever post, I don't expect it to be entirely right!
thanks for the youtube uploads. you rock!

the war thing makes sense to me.
the war thing makes sense to me.
My take...
You're with someone else Tomorrow night Doesn't matter to me
'Cause as the sun dies (dives?) Into the hill You've got all of me
You pull the blanket across my eyes It's a tragedy Take a lonely look for my sake It's a tragedy
Oh country air Is good for me No matter whose side I'm on
Like these dead leaves Dried in the sun I'll be up and gone
There's a stranger outside Oh, Lord! He's a wiser man than I Oh, Lord
I am a good man By any account I've seen better things to come
Could she be right? When she repeats, "I am the lucky one."
