Griffin House - Once Upon A Time In Ballard Town lyrics
[Griffin House - Once Upon A Time In Ballard Town lyrics]
Well, I made my way to the Great Northwest
To the sleepy little town that I love the best
I rode the ferry in the salty breeze
As the fog came rollin' through the Doug Fir Trees
Beheld the water on the Puget Sound
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
6 miles north of King Street Station
If you're ride those rails into Washington
On the Salmon Bay in the misty rain
I took a stroll down the old brick lane
As the autumn leaves gathered on the ground
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
She whispers to me as the full moon glows
In the early morning hours when the fog horn blows
She keeps a secret in the pink-blue sky
Where the sidewalks glitter and the seahawks fly
Above the harbor as the sun goes down
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
In the bars and the taverns and the old hotel
On a warm October I remember well
I walked the docks past the fishermen
In the garden by the locks where the ships come in
Where I dreamed my dream and I drank my fill
And I wrote my story while the time stood still
As the shadows fell and my sorrows drowned
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
To the sleepy little town that I love the best
I rode the ferry in the salty breeze
As the fog came rollin' through the Doug Fir Trees
Beheld the water on the Puget Sound
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
6 miles north of King Street Station
If you're ride those rails into Washington
On the Salmon Bay in the misty rain
I took a stroll down the old brick lane
As the autumn leaves gathered on the ground
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
She whispers to me as the full moon glows
In the early morning hours when the fog horn blows
She keeps a secret in the pink-blue sky
Where the sidewalks glitter and the seahawks fly
Above the harbor as the sun goes down
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
In the bars and the taverns and the old hotel
On a warm October I remember well
I walked the docks past the fishermen
In the garden by the locks where the ships come in
Where I dreamed my dream and I drank my fill
And I wrote my story while the time stood still
As the shadows fell and my sorrows drowned
Once upon a time in Ballard town
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
Ballard town, oh Ballard town, there's no place like it anywhere I've found
