Subject: Lyr Req: In The Park (Leon Rosselson) From: GUEST,allp1br Date: 16 Aug 15 - 11:09 AM Someone could help me with the lyrics for Leon Rosselson song "In The Park"? Thanks! In The Park (Leon Rosselson) In the streets of the city I (have felt) the towers falling And there's nowhere I can run to Where the people know my name, know my name When I was a child I build towers out of stone And the giants came and (tackle them) As if it was a game, it was a game Chorus: But here in the park Where the darkness grows around I am safe, I am free And the giant (...) (God) in my Island Where I am, who I am And the things that I see Are all at my command In the streets of the city The night falls like a stone And the light cover the darkness Where the warning to beware, to beware When I was a child I saw palaces of light Where the sun struck the water But they said there's nothing there, there's nothing there In the streets of the city I can hear the sirens calling And the eyes that turn to watch me Turn my body into stone, into stone When I was a child I heard a woman singing And then the song was over And it left me more alone, more alone |

Subject: Lyr Add: IN THE PARK (Leon Rosselson) From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 16 Aug 15 - 05:06 PM You are pretty close. Here are the words as printed in the 1992 songbook "Bringing the News From Nowhere": In the streets of the city, I have felt the towers falling And there's nowhere I can run to Where the people know my name – know my name When I was a child, I built towers out of stone And the giants came and toppled them As if it was a game – it was a game. But here in the park, where the darkness grows around, Iam safe, I am free, and the giant palm trees stand, Guarding my island, where I am who I am, And the things that I see are all at my command. In the streets of the city, the night falls like a stone And the lights carve the darkness With a warning to beware – to beware. When I was a child, I saw palaces of light Where the sun struck the water But they said, there's nothing there – there's nothing there. In the streets of the city, I can hear the sirens calling And the eyes that turn to watch me Turn my body into stone – into stone. When I was a child, I heard a woman singing And then the song was over And it left me more alone – more alone. Hope this helps R |
