[00:01.14]The town I came from was quiet and small [00:07.51]We played in the meadows [00:10.74]Where the grass grew so tall [00:15.07]As I grew older I had to roam [00:18.46]Far from my famil far from my home [00:22.19]Into the city where lives can be spent [00:25.78]Lost in the shadows of tar and cement [00:29.37]And every night I'd sit alone and learn [00:34.45]What loneliness meant [00:40.20]Up in my rented room above a world [00:45.38]Of tar and cement [00:51.27]Each day I'd wake up and look at the sky [00:54.65]Think of the meadows where I used to lie [00:58.36]Then I'd remember all of that's gone [01:02.16]You're in the city you better push on [01:05.49]Get what you came for before it's too late [01:09.08]Get what you came for the meadows can wait [01:12.57]So every night I'd sit alone and learn [01:17.59]What loneliness meant [01:23.38]Up in my rented room above a world [01:28.53]Of tar and cement [01:34.42]Many years later tired at last [01:37.78]I headed for home to look for my past [01:41.43]Looked for the meadows there wasn't a trace [01:45.15]Six lanes of highway had taken their place [01:48.71]Where were the lilacs and all that they meant [01:52.43]Nothing but acres of tar and cement [01:56.08]Yet I can see it there so clearly now [02:01.73]Where has it gone [02:07.29]Yes I can see it there so clearly now [02:14.07]Where has it gone [02:22.42]Where are the meadows(tar and cement) [02:26.10]Where are the tall grass(tar and cement) [02:29.61]Acres and acres (tar and cement) [02:33.34]Acres and acres (tar and cement) [02:34.94]Acres and acres acres and acres acres and acres [02:40.24]
