Great Big Sea - Dear Home Town lyrics
[Great Big Sea - Dear Home Town lyrics]
No one knows what's waiting where you go
Nothings certain but the fact:
That you're leaving still, you roam
From the straight and narrow road
Riding nothing but the lies
That you believe in
Frame after frame the pictures all remain:
Photographs of all the hearts you've broken
Frozen in time
Are the ghosts you left behind
Waiting for the words you left unspoken
Ho no no!
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Tell the girl:
It's a wide and wondrous world
There's room enough
To leave a life you're hating
And the highway runs both ways
And there's seats left on the train
And if you take it to the station
I'll be waiting
Ho no no!
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town and tell my Mom:
I miss her lovin' smile and tell my Father:
I really miss his laughter
Tell my sisters and my brothers
Tell my friends and all the others
That we'll meet in the Sweetest Hereafter
Ho no no no no no nooo!
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Dear Home Town
Nothings certain but the fact:
That you're leaving still, you roam
From the straight and narrow road
Riding nothing but the lies
That you believe in
Frame after frame the pictures all remain:
Photographs of all the hearts you've broken
Frozen in time
Are the ghosts you left behind
Waiting for the words you left unspoken
Ho no no!
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Tell the girl:
It's a wide and wondrous world
There's room enough
To leave a life you're hating
And the highway runs both ways
And there's seats left on the train
And if you take it to the station
I'll be waiting
Ho no no!
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town and tell my Mom:
I miss her lovin' smile and tell my Father:
I really miss his laughter
Tell my sisters and my brothers
Tell my friends and all the others
That we'll meet in the Sweetest Hereafter
Ho no no no no no nooo!
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Dear Home Town
