James Taylor Anywhere Like Heaven Lyrics

Anywhere Like Heaven Lyrics

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
