Nanci Griffith - You Can't Go Home lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - You Can't Go Home lyrics]
So much silence to my hometown streets
Gonna put my cheek to the
Window and watch it sleep
Where the shadow's fall from sycamore trees
Fight off this north wind and
I'll be headin' back east
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care
That much for me
I don't know why I always come here
In my dreams
It's the hardest to hold but
It's the easiest to find
If you'll slip for the dollar
I'll fall in the wine
But, you cannot save your past for today
It will leave you cold on an outbound train
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care
That much for me
I don't know why I always come here
In my dreams
Folded memories in my soul
It's that old blue line that you
Can never go back home
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise
He'll kiss my tears away and
Set my heart in line
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care
That much for me
I don't know why I always come here
In my dreams
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really
Care that much for me
I only come here to remember my dreams
Sleep tight hill Country town goodnight
Gonna put my cheek to the
Window and watch it sleep
Where the shadow's fall from sycamore trees
Fight off this north wind and
I'll be headin' back east
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care
That much for me
I don't know why I always come here
In my dreams
It's the hardest to hold but
It's the easiest to find
If you'll slip for the dollar
I'll fall in the wine
But, you cannot save your past for today
It will leave you cold on an outbound train
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care
That much for me
I don't know why I always come here
In my dreams
Folded memories in my soul
It's that old blue line that you
Can never go back home
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise
He'll kiss my tears away and
Set my heart in line
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care
That much for me
I don't know why I always come here
In my dreams
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really
Care that much for me
I only come here to remember my dreams
Sleep tight hill Country town goodnight
