In Tall Buildings Lyrics by Gillian Welch
In Tall Buildings
by Gillian Welch
Spoken Intro
This is a tune of John's that I've loved for years
It's pretty sad, there's probably a fair number of people that quite their jobs because of this song
This is "In Tall Buildings"
Verse 1
Someday, baby, when I am a man
And others have taught me
The best that they can
They'll sell me a suit
And cut off my hair
Send me to work in tall buildings
Chorus
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
Going to work in tall buildings
Verse 2
Now, when I retire
And my life is my own
I made all the payments
It's time to go home
And wonder what happened
Betwixt and between
When I went to work in tall buildings
Chorus
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I mustn't be late
Going to work in tall buildings
