When I walk along your city streets
And look into your eyes
When I see that simple sadness
That upon your features lies
If my spirit starts to sink
It comes as no surprise
Its been a long way from anywhere
Like heaven to your town, this town
Theres a pasture in the countryside
I used to call my own
Theres a natural pillow for my head
The grass theres overgrown
I think of that place from time to time
When I want to be alone
Its been a long way from anywhere
Like heaven to your town, this town
Now, people live from day to day
But they do not count the time
They dont see the days slipping by
And neither do i
Now, people live from day to day
But they do not count the time (you know)
They dont see their days slipping by
And neither do i
When I walk along your city streets
And look into your eyes
When I see that simple sadness
That across your features lies (I see lies)
If my spirit starts to sink
It comes as no surprise
Ive come a long way from anywhere
Like heaven to this town, your town
