Up on the Roof

When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space On the roof, it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now When I come home feelin' tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet I get away from the hustling crowd And all that rat-race noise down in the street On the roof, the only place I know Where you just have to wish to make it so Let's go up on the roof, Up on the roof Gerry Goffin,Carole King
