Paula Cole - Lonelytown lyrics
[Paula Cole - Lonelytown lyrics]
Spin the globe, stop and start
Come to a place that's torn apart
Here's a secret, it's my heart oh well
It's only
Broken shutters, whistling wind
Vultures circling overhead tumbleweeds fly
Dust in my eyes
Guess it's not my feelings crying
Peeling paint on empty homes
Where people lived in this town long ago
Packed their bags, nailed down the door
To Lonelytown
Oh, I once had a love of my life
The sun of my soul
But, I took him for granted
Ignored all the signs
And now it's just memories and passing ghosts
Spiderwebs and weeds waist high
Abandoned schoolyards and rusted wire
Looking for love looking for life
In Lonelytown
If you're lucky with a love of your own
Remember this in a nutshell I've told:
Hold them close and don't let go
And cherish forevermore
Or you will live in Lonelytown
Come to a place that's torn apart
Here's a secret, it's my heart oh well
It's only
Broken shutters, whistling wind
Vultures circling overhead tumbleweeds fly
Dust in my eyes
Guess it's not my feelings crying
Peeling paint on empty homes
Where people lived in this town long ago
Packed their bags, nailed down the door
To Lonelytown
Oh, I once had a love of my life
The sun of my soul
But, I took him for granted
Ignored all the signs
And now it's just memories and passing ghosts
Spiderwebs and weeds waist high
Abandoned schoolyards and rusted wire
Looking for love looking for life
In Lonelytown
If you're lucky with a love of your own
Remember this in a nutshell I've told:
Hold them close and don't let go
And cherish forevermore
Or you will live in Lonelytown
