The Hidden Cameras - The Day I Left Home (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

From the upcoming album Home On Native Land, out October 28th on Outside Music. Re-Directed by Geoffrey Farmer Lyrics: I burned everything I own, left it in a pile smoldering Took about on foot out into the wood like an animal Hap’d upon a tree, slept there underneath the birds and planes Woke up to find that I was alone Took a man’s ride with an eagle eye I was careless Rolling down the road, in from the cold I was tripping He took me to his lair said we should be married with a grin I refuse to make amends Refuse to wallow anymore So I telephoned my friend to take the upper hand for the first time Down on knees digging out the weeds of all the years I reserve the right to speak Reserve my right to let it all out One day you’ll see that I’m gone The first time was the best time, the hurt and crying was heaven It filled me with an ache filled me with the shake of an earthquake The next time well it was fine, dignified but it wore away I‘ll be searching to find the words I need to recall The day the words simplify is the day you get home and you see that I When you fall in love and you realize I’m gone
