Emerald City - 1967

James Pitt-Payne and Ian Cousins - 20 Dec 2001

Take me to the Emerald City,
Down yellow brick roads fast I run
Scarecrow friends will dance beside me,
Tin toy brothers bright as sun,
Take me to the Emerald City,
Wizards will give us lemonade,
It's a land of pleasures pretty,
Ruby roses never fade.

Children gather fragile flowers,
Stars will sing a lullaby,
You're an angel fly for ever,
Living life behind the sky
Take me to the Emerald City,
Wizards will give us lemonade,
It's a land of pleasures pretty,
Ruby roses never fade.

Rain it falls like tinsel teardrops,
Rivers flow through jungles tall,
Witches watch through magic mirrors,
Frosted fog covers crystal balls
Take me to the Emerald City,
Wizards will give us lemonade,
It's a land of pleasures pretty,
Ruby roses never fade.
It's a land of pleasures pretty,
Ruby roses never fade.
