Tar And Cement (2009 Digital Remaster) - Verdelle Smith[00:00:00]

The town I came from was quiet and small[00:00:02]

We played in the meadows[00:00:08]

Where the grass grew so tall[00:00:10]

In summer the lilacs would grow everywhere[00:00:14]

The laughter of children would float in the air[00:00:20]

As I grew older I had to roam[00:00:28]

Far from my family far from my home[00:00:32]

Into the city where lives can be spent[00:00:37]

Lost in the shadows of tar and cement[00:00:41]

And every night I'd sit alone and learn[00:00:45]

What loneliness meant[00:00:51]

Up in my rented room above the world[00:00:57]

Of tar and cement[00:01:03]

Each day I'd wake up and look at the sky[00:01:10]

Think of the meadows where I used to lie[00:01:14]

Then I'd remember all of that's gone[00:01:18]

You're in the city you better push on[00:01:22]

Get what you came for before it's too late[00:01:26]

Get what you came for the meadows can wait[00:01:30]

So every night I'd sit alone and learn[00:01:34]

What loneliness meant[00:01:40]

Up in my rented room above the world[00:01:47]

Of tar and cement[00:01:53]

Many years later tired at last[00:01:59]

I headed for home to look for my past[00:02:03]

I looked for the meadows there wasn't a trace[00:02:07]

Six lanes of highway had taken their place[00:02:11]

Where were the lilacs and all that they meant[00:02:16]

Nothing but acres of tar and cement[00:02:20]

Yet I can see it there so clearly now[00:02:24]

Where has it gone[00:02:30]

Yes I can see it there so clearly now[00:02:36]

Where has it gone[00:02:43]

Where are the meadows tar and cement[00:02:49]

Where are the lilacs tar and cement[00:02:53]

And where is the tall grass tar and cement[00:02:57]

The laughter of children tar and cement[00:03:01]

Nothing but acres tar and cement[00:03:05]

Acres and acres tar and cement[00:03:09]
