Shy as a Violet

Carole Bayer Sager


Shy as a violet

All of us start from the same place
With an open ticket and an awful lot of space to grow in 
And all of us go
But some of us go further 
'Til it gets hard
Getting back where we came 

Even tho' I'm as
Shy as a violet
Most people don't please me
Feelings don't come easy when you don't belong 
Underneath the still water
You'll find a deep well
Hell ain't so far from heaven when you got no home 

It's hard to make friends
When they all become
Scratches in my phone book-so many lines are disconnected
All my lines ring but some of them ring truer 
Friends can be reached thru a song when I sing... 

Even tho' I"m as
Shy as a violet
Most people don't please me
Feelings don't come easy when you don't belong 
Underneath the still water
You'll find a deep well
Hell ain't so far from heaven when you got no home 

So I fly across country
Listening to the music
Existing somewhere between two shores 
Creating whirlpools
Trapped in the swell
Hell ain't so far from heaven when you got no home 

Even tho' I'm as
Shy as a violet
Most people don't please me
Feelings don't come easy when you don't belong 
Underneath the still water
You'll find a deep well
Hell ain t so for from heaven when you got no home
