Shy As A Violet Lyrics - Singles - Carole Bayer Sager

(Carole Boyer Sager/ Peter Allen) 

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 

'Til 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 thru 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
