Can’t
imagine what it’s like to go Africa
See
the night sky
By
the moonlight
So
take me where the sun shines free
Where
you can belong
Down
a Dusty Road
Can’t
imagine what it’s like to sail the ocean
To
see a dolphin
Jump
in the water
Take
me where the fish swim free
Where
man cannot be seen
From
a Dusty Road
Can’t
believe we got so far so soon
Made
the wheel
Flew
hot air balloons
So
much we made before the crash
We’re
trying so hard to claim it backBut
I got the feeling
Somewhere
we lost control
On
a Dusty Road
Imagine
what it’s like to fly like a swallow
To
feel the air
Of
every changing season
So
lift me where the air is clean
See
our great machine
Built
on Dusty Roads
"I was quite new to living in London when I wrote Dusty Road, sitting in the sun in my back garden. Taking influence form a play I was involved in about man's attempts to redirect the Mississippi and the Brahmaputra. The song is about nature always winning back against man's scientific advancements."
