LYRICS:
play INTRO play VERSE FIGURE When I walk along your city streets and look into your eyes When I see that simple sadness that upon your features lies
CHORUS (play CHORUS FIGURE) If my spirit starts to sink it comes as no surprise It's been a long way from anywhere like Heaven to your town; this town
play VERSE FIGURE There's a pasture in the countryside I used to call my own There's a natural pillow for my head the grass there's overgrown; yes I know
CHORUS I think of that place from time to time when I want to be alone It's been a long way from anywhere like Heaven to your town; this town (play BRIDGE FIGURE) Now people live from day to day but they do not count the time They don't see the days slippin' by and neither do I
GUITAR SOLO play VERSE FIGURE
(play BRIDGE FIGURE) Now people they live from day to day but they do not count the time you know They don't see their days slippin' by and neither do I play VERSE FIGURE When I walk along your city streets and look into your eyes When I see that simple sadness there across your features lies I see lies
CHORUS If my spirit starts to sink it comes as no surprise I've come a long way from anywhere like Heaven to this town; your town end on C
