Famous Places - Emily Hickey

You rambled in a dream last night
Throwing rocks into twilight
All the races of our kind
Have found something in that line

Bend your knees in times like these
I forged my heart in tragedy
In the falling mountain light
I held my darling brother tight

I?m not young
I?m not old
I?m fine but I?m not full
In all these famous places no familiar home

I built a house an enterprise
I thought my fate was my design
It took from me a gentle life
And I fell crying

It?s a given end, it?s the oldest story
Nighttime moves into the morning light

I let my home, gave up my land
With heavy heart and humble hands
Tired mind I shut my eyes
And found something in that line

I?m not young
I?m not old
I?m fine but I?m not full
In all these famous places no familiar home

In all these famous places no familiar home?
