Текст песни Up On the Roof (Live) - James Taylor

When this old world starts a-getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'm gonna climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares adrift right into space

Oh, on the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below, it don't bother me
No, no, no, no

So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I've got to go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street

Oh, on the roof, that's the only place that I know
Look at the city baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on my roof

And at night the stars, they put on a show for free
And darlin' you can share, share it all with me
Hear what I say
Keep on tellin' you that

Right smack dab in the middle of town
Well I've found a paradise just about troubled proof, I know now
And if this old world starts a-getting you down
Well there's room enough for two up on my roof

Up on my roof
Up on my roof
You gotta come on up
Bring it on up
Come on up, come on up
No, now

Stop what you're doing tonight
And climb up the stairs and then you'll see me
We got the stars up above us and the city lights below
No, no, no, no-no, no, no, no-no, no, no
Up on my roof
Ohh, up on the roof
