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
