James) Mary James – vocals, banjo, guitar, cajon Mixed by Marc Frigo LYRICS Here I stand, in no man’s land, drear and stark and dead Contrariwise, these merry eyes, see blue skies overhead All is Bleak, so very bleak In this land of grim mystique Empty spaces, harsh places, send a wistful plea Like someone near, someone dear, calling out to me And the wind wails its desire And it’s hungry, hungry like a fire, like a wildfire CHORUS: I’m full of fight, here I stand I’m doing alright in No Man’s Land With Blinders gone, I look upon, this mystic land of strife This open door, to the ground floor, of rough and restless life I looked up at the sky once more Had it ever been so blue before – Birds fly, shadows rush by, there’s movement behind
