Shy as a Violet

All of us start from the same place With an open ticket and an awful lot of space to grow in And all of us go But some of us go further 'Till it gets hard Getting back where we came Even tho' I'm as Shy as a violet Most people don't please me Feelings don't come easy when you don't belong Underneath the still water You'll find a deep well Hell ain't so far from heaven when you got no home It's hard to make friends When they all become Scratches in my phone book-so many lines are disconnected All my lines ring but some of them ring truer Friends can be reached through a song when I sing... Even tho' I"m as Shy as a violet Most people don't please me Feelings don't come easy when you don't belong Underneath the still water You'll find a deep well Hell ain't so far from heaven when you got no home So I fly across country Listening to the music Existing somewhere between two shores Creating whirlpools Trapped in the swell Hell ain't so far from heaven when you got no home Even tho' I'm as Shy as a violet Most people don't please me Feelings don't come easy when you don't belong Underneath the still water You'll find a deep well Hell ain t so for from heaven when you got no home --- Shy as a Violet - Carole Bayer Sager
