This Used to Be My Town 歌词

The altarboys are sneaking cigarettes The friends and neighbors offering their regrets The station wagons in the pouring rain And all that water goin down the drain A white lace dress for when I turn thirteen And a bright red stain that wouldn't quite come clean Walking by the football field Trying out my sex appeal While all around the leaves are turning brown This used to be my town He waited by the swingset in the park He tore at my new raincoat in the dark And all that I could think about Was getting through and getting out And how the night could fall without a sound This used to be my town I'm flying through the clouds as white as snow I'm looking at the people down below The whole world holds its breath for me The priest evokes eternity And everywhere the rain is pourin down This used to be my town
