King Crimson Lyrics for Song: Exiles
 Lyrics for Album: The Great Deceiver Part 1 [2007]
 
 
 
 148>Now in this faraway land
 
 Strange that the palms of my hands
 
 Should be damp with expectancy
 
 
 
 Spring, and the air's turning mild
 
 City lights and the glimpse of a child
 
 Of the alleyway infantry
 
 
 
 Friends - do they know what I mean?
 
 Rain and the gathering green
 
 Of an afternoon out of town
 
 
 
 But lord I had to go
 
 The trail was laid too slow behind me
 
 To face the call of fame
 
 Or make a drunkard's name for me
 
 Though now this better life
 
 Has brought a different understanding
 
 And from these endless days
 
 Shall come a broader sympathy
 
 And though I count the hours
 
 To be alone's no injury
 
 
 
 My home was a place by the sand
 
 Cliffs and a military band
 
 Blew an air of normality
 
 
 
 composed by:
 
 Bill Bruford
 
 David Cross
 
 Robert Fripp
 
 Jamie Muir
 
 Richard Palmer-James
 
 John Wetton
