Tar And Cement - Sounds Unlimited[00:00:00]
The town I came from was quiet and small[00:00:06]
We played in the meadows[00:00:10]
Where the grass grew so tall[00:00:11]
In summer the lilacs would grow everywhere[00:00:14]
The laughter of children would float in the air[00:00:18]
And I can see it out so clearly now[00:00:22]
We will has it gone[00:00:28]
Yes I can see it out so clearly now[00:00:32]
We will has it gone[00:00:38]
As I grew older I had to roam[00:00:43]
Far from my family far from my home[00:00:46]
Into the city where lives can be spent[00:00:50]
Lost in the shadows of tar and cement[00:00:54]
Into the city where I had my eye[00:00:58]
All of the flises in money can buy[00:01:01]
And every night I'd sit alone and learn[00:01:05]
What loneliness meant[00:01:11]
Up in my rented room above the world[00:01:15]
Of tar and cement[00:01:20]
Each day I'd wake up look at the sky[00:01:26]
Think of the meadows where I used to lie[00:01:30]
Then I'd remember all of that's gone[00:01:33]
You're in the city better move on[00:01:37]
Get what you came for before it's too late[00:01:41]
Get what you came for the meadows can wait[00:01:45]
So every night I'd sit alone and learn[00:01:48]
What loneliness meant[00:01:54]
Up in my rented room above the world[00:01:58]
Of tar and cement[00:02:03]
Many years later tired at last[00:02:09]
I headed for home to look for my past[00:02:13]
I looked for the meadows there wasn't a trace[00:02:16]
Six lanes of highway had taken their place[00:02:20]
Where were the lilacs and all that they meant[00:02:24]
Nothing but acres of tar and cement[00:02:27]
Yet I can see it out so clearly now[00:02:31]
Where has it gone[00:02:37]
Yes I can see it out so clearly now[00:02:41]
Where has it gone[00:02:50]
Where are the meadows[00:02:54]
Tar and cement[00:02:56]
Where are the lilacs[00:02:58]
Tar and cement[00:02:59]
And where is the tall grass[00:03:01]
Tar and cement[00:03:03]
And the laughter of children[00:03:04]
Tar and cement[00:03:07]
There's nothing but acres[00:03:08]
Tar and cement[00:03:11]
There's acres and acres[00:03:12]
Tar and cement[00:03:14]
I've tar and cement[00:03:16]
Tar and cement[00:03:18]
