Up on the roof
I fought hard to get my terrace off of my office during the design and construction phase, because I wanted a place to be able to walk outside during the work day. Since it’s usually way to hot too walk outside, I normally just look at the terrace from the inside and just knowing it is there makes me happy. But lately, since we continue to have our family visiting us and we are trying to deal with our changed living environment, we have been getting a lot of use out of that terrace. It’s our retreat suddenly – the place where T and I can go to catch up on things and spend time alone together.
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
