The Pond And The Stream - Fotheringay

Annie wanders on the land

She loves the freedom of the air

She finds a friend in every place she goes

There’s always a face she knows

I wish that I was there

She says, «I'm leaving here tomorrow

To find a new town far away.»

She says, «Won't you come too?

You need a break

You love to wake up somewhere new

And find another day.»

But I live in the city

And imagine country scenes

For among the rich

Within four walls and out of reach

I live behind the screen

She smiles as one who loves to smile

To show that she is free

But is she thinking now it’s time

To wander back again

To see her friends and me?

We all live in the city

And imagine country scenes

For among the rich

Within four walls and out of reach

We live behind a screen
