When My World Left 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.
The sun rose up this morning but it didn't shine
Her pillow's still wet from the tears she'd been cryin'
And my heart's as empty as the closet I found
This morning when my world left town
This morning when my world rode a bus or a plane
Seeking the sunshine and leaving me rain
Left me no advice to where she was bound
This morning when my world left town
[ fiddle - steel ]
She got up this morning not making a sound
She could not have left and she sink me so down
Leaving to seek what we'd never quite found
This morning when my world left town
This morning when my world rode a bus or a plane...
