If I could look across the country From California to New Jersey Then I count the parks and lake resorts And number all the jets and airports All those rather dreary rain clouds still me Cuz I look through the camera and cannot see
If I could open up my window And see from Tampa Bay to Juneau Then I would survey all open miles And line them up in single file Everywhere I look I see green scenic sublime And all those oceanic vistas are divine
If I was standing on the balcony And you were walking down below I'd feel rather depressed and out of place And lonely just watch you go If you were swinging the highway overpass Within the western hemisphere I'd feel rather afraid and insincere If you began to disappear
If was walking through a sad art gallery And you were driving through the night I'd feel rather alone and I'll at ease Beneath the brilliant showroom light If I was flying on plane above your town And you were gazing the sky Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured If you began to wave goodbye
