Utah on 'A Clearing in the Forest' Songtext
von Utah Phillips

Here come the critics now,
The news it won′t be good
Come along and hurry now
And do the things you should

I can see you dancing by me
Held up by secret strings
All my friends and lovers,
Waiting in the wings,

A clearing in the forrest
An island in the sea,
Space for loving
A place for you and me

We need a clearing in the forest
An Island in the sea
Space of loving
A place for you and me


Abord the titanic now,
It all looks black and white
If we don't panic now,
It′ll be alright

Ah but the wireless is broken
The seas are getting rough
We only have each other
You know, that's not enough

We need a clearing in the forrest
An island in the sea,
Space for loving
A place for you and me

We need a clearing in the forest
An Island in the sea
Space of loving
A place for you and me

Down in the magic city now
The ghost of mammon sings
You can play for plastic feelings
You can play for plastic things


The only difference is the playing
Losing still the same
Truth is in the saying
Doing is the game

We need a clearing in the forrest
An island in the sea,
Space for loving
A place for you and me

We need a clearing in the forrest
An island in the sea,
Space for loving
A place for you and me
