Dear Home Town - Great Big Sea

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
