Lyrics
This Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fifteen fortune seekers
Found a new place they call home
Beneath the old gasoline station
Where the railway starts to flow
Out of this town where
The heroes hide away
Where kids grow up to tell their part
Of the hometown story
Many years they went out to
Where no one else will find
Faith became their castle
Till the ground was set on fire
Summer turned to winter
Friends became enemies
The change of seasons took its stand
In the hometown story
Then came the rain
Then came the night
The street looked like a mirror
Took them to the other side
Promises were holy
Life was all around
I guess there's nothing left for them
In the backstreets of this town
Who's the one who clears your eyes
When tears can't hide the pain?
Who's the one you run to
When the whole town calls your name?
Who will be your fire
When the mirror starts to freeze?
The truth is hard to find between the lines
In the hometown story
Then came the rain
Then came the night
There ain't no more fortune left
Beyond the other mirror side
Then on the mainstreet
Snow came falling down
There's so much left for you and me
In the backstreets of this town
Those last few days, we didn't take
The time to speak our minds
Some of us they learned to see
While some of us got blind
The salt inside my eyes
Hurts like some memories
The time is right to find yourself
In the hometown story
