Wild Grows The Heather - Christie

I heard some voices singing

Out in the crowded street

They sang of changes coming

And wine that tasted sweet

And then I got to thinking

About the way we live

Cooped up inside these four walls

Soon something’s got to give

Let’s get away from the city

Let’s get away from the street

Wild grows the heather

Under your feet

Where the air’s good to breathe

There’s a chance to be free

Don’t see no flowers growing

Can’t see no trees at all

It’s time to cross the river

It’s time to jump the wall

Maybe a new tomorrow

A new horizon too

I’m talking 'bout a new life

A chance to sing in tune

Let’s get away from the city

Let’s get away from the street

Wild grows the heather

Under your feet

Where the air’s good to breathe

There’s a chance to be free
