Been to Canaan Lyrics
by Carole King
This is Carole's cracker off the Rhymes and Reasons Album(1972)
It is in the correct key , but transposing makes it easier. It is about her home in Connecticut.
Fm7 Ebmaj7 several times
Green fields and rolling hills
Room enough to do what we will
Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind
Of a place I left behind,
Been so long, I can't remember when
I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again.
Been so long, I'm living till then
Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
I go back again.
Though I'm content with myself
Sometimes I long to be somewhere else
I try to do what I can, but with our day to day demands
We all need a promised land.
Been so long,I can't remember when
I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm living till then
'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
I go back again.
Oh I want to be there in the wintertime
With a fireplace burning to warm me
And you to hold me when it's stormy
Been so long, I can't remember when
I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm living till then.
'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
I go back again.
