Melanie Safka - Gardens In The City lyrics
rate meWhen I was young, I lived in the country,<br />
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why,<br />
And now that I've grown, I live in the city,<br />
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky,<br />
<br />
I once met a man, who lived in the city,<br />
The stone was his home, he said his heart was mine,<br />
He led me far away, when he told me I was pretty,<br />
How strange to go so far, and never touch the sky,<br />
<br />
Gardens grow most times in the country,<br />
Grow a wondrous high,<br />
Gardens grow sometimes in the city,<br />
Grow, but soon they die,<br />
<br />
Now I look up at the buildings of the city,<br />
Their fingers are so much longer than mine,<br />
I wish I had the hands of the city,<br />
For heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky,<br />
<br />
Gardens grow most times in the country,<br />
Grow a wondrous high,<br />
Gardens grow sometimes in the city,<br />
Grow, but soon they die,<br />
<br />
When I was young, I lived in the country,<br />
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why,<br />
And now that I've grown, I live in the city,<br />
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky,<br />
And heaven is so far, I'll never touch the sky...<br />
