Sandy Denny - The Pond & The Stream

The Pond & The Stream


Annie wanders on the land
She loves the freedom of the air
She finds a friend in every place she goes
There's always a face she knows
I wish that I was there

She says, "I'm leaving here tomorrow
To find a new town far away''
She says, "Won't you come too, you need a break
You love to wake up somewhere new
And find another day''

But I live in the city
And imagine country scenes
For among the rich
Within four walls and out of reach
I live behind the screen

She smiles as one who loves to smile
To show that she is free
But is she thinking now it's time
To wander back again
To see her friends and me?

We all live in the city
And imagine country scenes
For among the rich
Within four walls and out of reach
We live behind a screen
