Lyrics
Common Ground
Early in the mornin'
Oh in Boston town
I was out walking
On common ground
Oh I walked with a doctor
Sat with a bum
Prayed with a sailor
Who was on the run
Oh I started on tremont
And I made my way around
We had all been standing
On common ground
Early in the mornin'
Oh in Boston town
I was out walking
On common ground
Oh I walked with a big shot
Sat with a num
Talked to a student
Who was there for fun
Oh I started on tremont
And I made my way around
We had all been standing
On common ground
Tourists were quietly watching the games
Lovers were strolling along on the way
Babies were learning to swim and play
While the artists were painting the day
Oh I started on tremont
And I made my way around
We had all been standing
On common ground
We had all been standing
On common ground
