Carole King - Been To Canaan lyrics

rate me

Green fields and rolling hills

Room enough to do what we will

Sweet dreams of yestertime

Are running through my mind

Of a place I left behind

Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Though I'm content with myself

Sometimes I long to be somewhere else

I try to do what I can

But with our day-to-day demands

We all need a promised land

And it's been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime

With a fireplace burning to warm me

And you to hold me when it's stormy

Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again
