This Town Lyrics

This Town lyrics

Fifteen fortune seekers 

 Found a new place they call home 

 Beneath the old gasoline station 

 Where the railway starts to flow 

 Out of this town where 

 The heroes hide away 

 Where kids grow up to tell their part 

 Of the hometown story 

  

 Many years they went out to 

 Where no one else will find 

 Faith became their castle 

 Till the ground was set on fire 

 Summer turned to winter 

 Friends became enemies 

 The change of seasons took its stand 

 In the hometown story 

  

 Then came the rain 

 Then came the night 

 The street looked like a mirror 

 Took them to the other side 

 Promises were holy 

 Life was all around 

 I guess there’s nothing left for them 

 In the backstreets of this town 

  

 Who’s the one who clears your eyes 

 When tears can’t hide the pain? 

 Who’s the one you run to 

 When the whole town calls your name? 

 Who will be your fire 

 When the mirror starts to freeze? 

 The truth is hard to find between the lines 

 In the hometown story 

  

 Then came the rain 

 Then came the night 

 There ain’t no more fortune left 

 Beyond the other mirror side 

 Then on the mainstreet 

 Snow came falling down 

 There’s so much left for you and me 

 In the backstreets of this town 

  

 Those last few days, we didn’t take 

 The time to speak our minds 

 Some of us they learned to see 

 While some of us got blind 

 The salt inside my eyes 

 Hurts like some memories 

 The time is right to find yourself 

 In the hometown story
