Short Supply lyrics

Tracy Chapman See albums and popular songs

Where are
The sunny days
The blue skies
The flowers for the children
The colors for their eyes?
Dont you see
Dont you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply

Its time that we
Its time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Where are
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
Birds to sing for daybreak?
Where are all the trees?

Dont you see
Dont you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply

Its time that we
Its time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eye
s

Where are all the grassy hilltops
Clean air to breathe
Pure water to drink of
Beautiful sights to see?

Dont you see
Dont you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply

Its time that we
Its time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Or therell be no more you
Therell be no more me
Therell be no more children
All we know will cease to be

Dont you see
Dont you see
The things of this earth
Keep us alive

Its time that we
Its time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Where are the sunny days?
Blue skies
The flowers for the children
All the colors for their eyes
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
All the birds to sing for daybreak
Where are
Where are
Where are all the trees?

Dont you see
All these things they come in short supply
Its time that we
Make a space inside our hearts
And open our eyes
