I can get to
Where I'm safe
>From the city blues
And it's green
And it's quiet
Only trouble was
I had to buy it
And I'll do anything I got to do >
Cut my hair and shine my shoes > chorus
And keep on singin' the blues >
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden >
As the swift bird
Flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then
To take his breakfast
Thus I come and go
And I travel
And I can watch that bird
And unravel
Chorus --
With his love
And his carin'
He puts his life
Into beauty sharin'
And his children
Are his flowers
There to give us peace
In quiet hours
Chorus --
There's a place I can get to Where I'm safe >From the city blues And it's green And it's quiet Only trouble was I had to buy it And I'll do anything I got to do > Cut my hair and shine my shoes > chorus And keep on singin' the blues > If I can stay here in Johnny's garden > As the swift bird Flies over the grasses Dipping now and then To take his breakfast Thus I come and go And I travel And I can watch that bird And unravel Chorus -- With his love And his carin' He puts his life Into beauty sharin' And his children Are his flowers There to give us peace In quiet hours Chorus -- Explain Request ×
