美國歌壇創作天后［卡洛．金］──成人流行／軟式搖滾──［Been to Canaan／去過迦南］

 

Green fields and rolling hills

Room enough to do what we will

Sweet dreams of yestertime

Are running through my mind

Of a place I left behind

 

Been so long, I cant remember when

Ive been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, Im living till then

Cause Ive been to Canaan and I wont rest until I go back again

 

Though Im content with myself

Sometimes I long to be somewhere else

I try to do what I can

But with our day-to-day demands

We all need a promised land

 

And its been so long, I cant remember when

Ive been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, Im living till then

Cause Ive been to Canaan and I wont rest until I go back again

 

Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime

With a fireplace burning to warm me

And you to hold me when its stormy

 

Been so long, I cant remember when

Ive been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, Im living till then

Cause Ive been to Canaan and I wont rest until I go back again
