The town I came from was quiet and smallwe played in the meadows where the grass grew so tallin summer the lilacs would grow everywherethe laughter of children would float in the airAnd I can see it all so clearly now still going onYes, I can see it oh so clearly now though all of it's goneAs I grew older I had to roamfar from my family, far from my homeinto the city, where lives can be spentlost in the shadows of tar and cement.In to the city where I had my eyeon all the pleasures that money can buyAnd every night I'd sit alone and learnwhat loneliness meantup in my rented room above a worldof tar and cement.Each day I'd wake up and look at the skythink of the meadows where I used to liethen I'd remember all of that's goneyou're in the city, you better push onLetras de cancionesget what you came for, before it's too lateget what you came for, the meadows can wait.So every night I'd sit alone and learnwhat loneliness meantup in my rented room above a worldof tar and cement.Many years later, tired at lastI headed for home to look for my pastI looked for the meadows, there wasn't a tracesix lanes of highway had taken their placewhere were the lilacs and all that they meantnothing but acres of tar and cement.Yet I can see it there so clearly nowwhere has it gone?Yes I can see it there so clearly nowwhere has it gone?Where are the meadows?
