Up On The Roof - James Taylor
We live on the 27th floor of a condo in Toronto along the lake. Our building is taller (46 floors) than the new buildings that have sprung up. These photos are from our unit looking out onto the roofs of some nearby condos.
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Well let me tell you now
When I go home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh lets go up on the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Up on the roof - everything is alright
Up on the roof - ah come on baby
Up on the roof - everything is alright
Up On The Roof
Gerry Goffin/Carole King
When this old world starts getting me downAnd people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
And there the world below can't bother me
Well let me tell you now
When I go home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh lets go up on the roof
And darling you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Up on the roof - everything is alright
Up on the roof - ah come on baby
Up on the roof - everything is alright

Those are some great looking circular balconies! If ever I am single in my old age, I hope to do some high rise condo living. Such great views!
ReplyDeleteOh my those looks like some beautiful homes

What a great roof! Looks like a wonderfully relaxing place.
ReplyDeleteWould LOVE one of those decks!
ReplyDeleteWow, great shots! I've never been to Toronto, but now I feel like I'm better acquainted with it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Diane on this, I would someday love to live in a city condo like that. Just sitting out on that gorgeous circular patio and surveying busy life around me while I'm in the peacefulness of the air up above...AND a glass of wine too :). Thanks for joining in on Song-ography this week.
ReplyDeleteYou have totally captured what I love about the roof in the city! Great views from your condo... Perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow you really live up on the roof. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great view and definitely qualifies as up on the roof. Some nice little patio decks over there.
ReplyDeleteWow those are some views you have. I can't imagine living that high up in the air. I love the one with the trees/shrubs.
