Smalltown |
Tell me where oh where has summer gone |
It hasn’t come this year |
You always cry when swallows fly |
With doubts in search of dreams |
He’s a working man |
Can’t you understand |
And he sweats for a man’s release |
But you’ve seen the lie |
In the children’s eyes |
As heroes turn to tears |
Tell me how |
This life won’t let you go |
Tell me how |
This same old fool |
Keeps coming back to you |
It’s the same old scene it’s always been |
Men flex muscle fast |
And men pull punches after hours |
When the moments spell is cast |
So you take your chance |
At the smalltown dance |
Where romances is up and gone |
It’s Friday night |
You’re another man’s wife |
And you waltz that lie till dawn |
Tell me how |
This life won’t let you go |
Tell me how |
This same old fool |
Keeps coming back to you |
Tell me where oh were has summer gone |
It hasn’t come this year |
You always cry when swallows fly |
They confirm your darkest fears |
When a bottle strikes |
Down one man’s life |
And his children’s lives as well |
The full moon pulls you |
Many times |
To the outer edge of hell |
Tell me how |
This life won’t let you go |
Tell me how |
This same old fool |
Keeps coming back to you |
