In Tall Buildings

Gregory Alan Isakov Gregory Alan Isakov

Someday my baby, when I am a man
And others have taught me
The best that they can
They'll sell me a suit
They’ll cut off my hair
And send me to work in tall buildings

So it's goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
I’m going to work in tall buildings

When I’m retired
My life is my own
I made all the payments
It's time to go home
And wonder what happened
Betwixt and between
When I went to work in tall buildings

So it's goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
I’m going to work in tall buildings
