Lyrics for RUINS by Cat Stevens:
| | | Artist: | Cat Stevens |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | RUINS | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 195 | | | | Lyrics: | It's so quiet in the ruins walking though the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet I see
smoke for miles around
Oh it's enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing and the children played
Old man with his head
down, can't see nothing more around...no
But he remembers how it used to be, back
in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It's nice to see
a friendly face come peeping through having tea
In the afternoon, so nice to see you coming
back in this town again...
Ah but it's all changed winter turned on a man
Came down on day when no-one was looking and it
Stole away the land, people running scared,
losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand, buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody...helping no-one else
Young child with his hands high, ain't able to see no
reason why...no
But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face come
peeping through
You'd better know what you're going through now
You came back here
to find your home is a black horizon
That you don't recognize, evil destruction has taken
everything
You'd better walk on the side while you're still walking
Just keep on
walking on down the street keep your distance
From the people you meet. Oh Lord and you'd
better watch your eyes
'Cause if smoke gets in them, baby you won't rise again.
Where's it leading to freedom at what cost
People needing more and more and it's all getting
lost
I want back, I want back
Back to the time when the earth was green
And
there was no high walls and the sea was clean
Don't stop that sun to shine, it's not yours
or mine...no | | | |
