Anywhere Like Heaven

When i walk along your city streets

And look into your eyes

When i see that simple sadness

That upon your features lies

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



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

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



Now, people live from day to day

But they do not count the time

They don't see the days slipping by

And neither do i



Now, people live from day to day

But they do not count the time (you know)

They don't see their days slipping by

And neither do i



When i walk along your city streets

And look into your eyes

When i see that simple sadness

That across your features lies (i see lies)

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
