In Tall Buildings (John Hartford cover) - Lindsay & Jordan

Our little take on John Hartford's "In Tall Buildings", from his 1976 album "Nobody Knows What You Do".
Lead vocals & mandolin: Jordan Santiago
Harmony vocals & guitar: Lindsay Straw
Lyrics:
Someday my baby, when I am a man,
And others have taught me the best that they can
They'll sell me a suit, they'll cut off my hair
And send me to work in tall buildings
So it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I must not be late
I'm going to work in tall buildings
When I'm retired, my life is my own
I made all the payments, it's time to go home
And wonder what happened betwixt and between
When I went to work in tall buildings
So it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I must not be late
I'm going to work in tall buildings

Wonderful. Your singing and relaxed playing reminds me of the Mandolin Orange duo, with such nice vocal intricacy and and a relaxed way to make each note weigh. Great song, thanks for sharing.
