[00:00:00] Tar And Cement (2009 Digital Remaster) - Verdelle Smith

[00:00:02] The town I came from was quiet and small

[00:00:08] We played in the meadows

[00:00:10] Where the grass grew so tall

[00:00:14] In summer the lilacs would grow everywhere

[00:00:20] The laughter of children would float in the air

[00:00:28] As I grew older I had to roam

[00:00:32] Far from my family far from my home

[00:00:37] Into the city where lives can be spent

[00:00:41] Lost in the shadows of tar and cement

[00:00:45] And every night I'd sit alone and learn

[00:00:51] What loneliness meant

[00:00:57] Up in my rented room above the world

[00:01:03] Of tar and cement

[00:01:10] Each day I'd wake up and look at the sky

[00:01:14] Think of the meadows where I used to lie

[00:01:18] Then I'd remember all of that's gone

[00:01:22] You're in the city you better push on

[00:01:26] Get what you came for before it's too late

[00:01:30] Get what you came for the meadows can wait

[00:01:34] So every night I'd sit alone and learn

[00:01:40] What loneliness meant

[00:01:47] Up in my rented room above the world

[00:01:53] Of tar and cement

[00:01:59] Many years later tired at last

[00:02:03] I headed for home to look for my past

[00:02:07] I looked for the meadows there wasn't a trace

[00:02:11] Six lanes of highway had taken their place

[00:02:16] Where were the lilacs and all that they meant

[00:02:20] Nothing but acres of tar and cement

[00:02:24] Yet I can see it there so clearly now

[00:02:30] Where has it gone

[00:02:36] Yes I can see it there so clearly now

[00:02:43] Where has it gone

[00:02:49] Where are the meadows tar and cement

[00:02:53] Where are the lilacs tar and cement

[00:02:57] And where is the tall grass tar and cement

[00:03:01] The laughter of children tar and cement

[00:03:05] Nothing but acres tar and cement

[00:03:09] Acres and acres tar and cement
