[Verse 1] Red roofs scattered between the trees A tractor drawing lines beneath me Yellow field, then darker green Little roads connecting everything I turn slowly onto my back Blue above me, nothing else Then roll again and there it is The whole countryside underneath [Pre-Chorus] A little left A little higher Then back the way I came [Chorus] No particular direction No reason to arrive I turn above the treetops And let the landscape slide A little left A little higher Then back the way I came The roads know where they're going I don't have to do the same [Verse 2] A cloud puts shadows on the fields They cross the farms without a sound I drift lower toward a house Then change my mind and rise again A line of washing in a yard A silver roof beside a barn Someone cycling down a lane Too small from here to know their name [Pre-Chorus] A little left A little lower A slow turn in the air [Chorus] No particular direction No reason to arrive I turn above the treetops And let the landscape slide A little left A little higher Then back the way I came The roads know where they're going I don't have to do the same [Bridge] For a while the forest fills the view Dark green folding into dark green Then suddenly the fields return Yellow, brown and summer green I stop Or almost stop And nothing pulls me down [Final Chorus] No particular direction No reason to arrive The houses turn beneath me As I roll across the sky A little left A little higher Then somewhere else again The roads know where they're going I don't have to do the same [Outro] No particular direction Just turning in the air
