Where The Cottonwoods Grow

from The Shay & Shay Radio Hour by Aaron J. Shay & Sarah Shay

/

lyrics

There's a place I know
Where the cottonwoods grow
And every summer,
A blizzard of cotton drifts down
It's there in the pocket
Of a tiny big town
Just a little old house on a hill
Where the cottonwoods grow

There's a place I've seen
Somewhere in between
The little old farmhouse
And the streets where the high-rises climb
It's there in the pocket
Of some other time
Just a little old house on a hill
In a state evergreen

And don't look too close at
The cracks in the pavement
Or the hedges all grown too tall
Think of the cities and
Kingdoms we dreamed of
When our visions were grand
But our bodies were small
Try to remember it all

There's a place I know
Where the cottonwoods grow
Yes, they've outlived the orchards
Where the plum trees once sheltered the quail
Though my body is aging
Though my memory fails
There's a big quiet house on a hill
Where the cottonwoods grow.
