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

And I can see it out so clearly now

We will has it gone

Yes I can see it out so clearly now

We will has it gone

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

Into the city where I had my eye

All of the flises in money can buy

And every night 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 better move on

Get what you came for before it's too late

Get what you came for the meadows can wait

So every night 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

Nothing but acres of tar and cement

Yet I can see it out so clearly now

Where has it gone

Yes I can see it out so clearly now

Where has it gone

Where are the meadows

Tar and cement

Where are the lilacs

Tar and cement

And where is the tall grass

Tar and cement

And the laughter of children

Tar and cement

There's nothing but acres

Tar and cement

There's acres and acres

Tar and cement

I've tar and cement

Tar and cement
