words and music by |
|
Arlo Guthrie |
|
Like a dream in the night |
|
As the snow settles white |
|
There's a fire burning bright |
|
In Massachusetts |
|
And there's a house upon a hill |
|
That keeps us from the chill |
|
And by the grace of |
|
God We will be in |
|
Massachusetts |
|
CHORUS: You can tell me about the times you spent |
|
In the Rockies and on the plains, |
|
Please don't think that |
|
I'm the last to say |
|
That there ain't lots of other places |
|
In this world that still remain |
|
Beautiful and unchanged |
|
But they're just not the same |
|
The sun comes up to meet the dawn |
|
And there's a day that must go on |
|
There's another night that's gone |
|
In Massachusetts |
|
And I could spend all of my days |
|
And remain each day amazed |
|
At the way each day is phrased |
|
In Massachusetts |
|
CHORUS Now if you could only see |
|
I know you would agree |
|
There ain't nowhere else to be |
|
Like Massachusetts |
|
And there's a house upon a hill |
|
That keeps us from the chill |
|
And by the grace of |
|
God We will be in |
|
Massachusetts |
|
Come on tell me about the time you spent |
|
In the Rockies and on the plains |
|
And please don't think that |
|
I'm the last to say |
|
That there ain't lots of other places |
|
In this world that still remain |
|
Beautiful and unchanged |
|
But they're just not the same as |
|
Massachusetts |
