Lyrics
Verse 1
The fog rolls off the field at dawn
I count the stiles along the fence
Cold air bites my hands
A kestrel hangs above the hawthorn
Pre-Chorus
And I have walked this way since I was small
Same muddy boots same crooked wall
Nothing here asks me to be anyone at all
Chorus
Give me the green and the grey
Give me the rain on the slate
Give me the wide open space
Where nobody knows my name
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Nobody knows my name
Oh-oh oh-oh
Nobody knows my name
Verse 2
The river bends behind the mill
A heron stands like a coat on a nail
Somebody's dog is barking far off
I stay a while just to stand still
Pre-Chorus
And I have come back here to clear my head
Same old lane same empty shed
Every stone remembers what I said
Chorus
Give me the green and the grey
Give me the rain on the slate
Give me the wide open space
Where nobody knows my name
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Nobody knows my name
Oh-oh oh-oh
Nobody knows my name
Bridge
Let the wind take the noise away
Let the hills hold what I can't say
Let the light go soft and strange
I'll be fine I'll be fine
Chorus
Give me the green and the grey
Give me the rain on the slate
Give me the wide open space
Where nobody knows my name
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Nobody knows my name
Oh-oh oh-oh
Nobody knows my name
Outro
Nobody knows my name
Nobody knows my name
