Anywhere Like Heaven Lyrics by James Taylor

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
