Up On the Roof
Carole King (attributed to James Taylor...)
When this old world starts a getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I`ll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into s***e
On the roof, it`s peaceful as can be
And there the world below don`t bother me, no, no
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I`ll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I`ll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street
On the roof, that`s the only place I know
Look at the city, baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let`s go up on the roof
And at night the stars they put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
That`s what I said
Keep on telling you
That right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that`s troubleproof
And if this old world starts a getting you down
There`s room enough for two
Up on the roof...
