in tall buildings - gillian welch lyrics
[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
