Anywhere Like Heaven Lyrics - Sweet Baby James - James Taylor

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, yes and no 

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, they live from day to day, but they do not count the time, no 

They don't see their days slipping by and neither do I
