Tar and Cement (Stereo Single Edit) - Verdelle Smith
The town I came from
Was quiet and small
We played in the meadows
Where the grass grew so tall
In summer the lilacs
Would grow everywhere
The laughter of children
Would float in the air
As I grew older
I had to roam
Far from my family
Far from my home
Into the city
Where lives can be spent
Lost in the shadows
Of tar and cement
And everynight I'd sit alone and learn
What loneliness meant
Up in my rented room above the world
Of tar and cement
Each day I'd wake up
Look at the sky
Think of the meadows
Where I used to lie
Then I'd remember
All of that's gone
You're in the city
You better push on
Get what you came for
Before it's too late
Get what you came for
The meadows can wait
So everynight I'd sit alone and learn
What loneliness meant
Up in my rented room above the world
Of tar and cement
Many years later
Tired at last
I headed for home
To look for my past
I looked for the meadows
There wasn't a trace
Six lanes of highway
Had taken their place
Where were the lilacs
And all that they meant
Nothin' but acres
Tar and cement
Yet I can see it there so clearly now
Where has it gone
Yes
I can see it there so clearly now
Where has it gone
Where are the meadows
Where are the lilacs
And where is the tall grass
The laughter of children
Nothin' but acres
Acres and acres
