Ghost+Town

Ghost town I wrote a letter to my mother With a well worn fountain pen The paper shining so brightly And the ink was blood red It said ‘to anyone who’s reading’ I leaving this town for good I’m making my own way through Like I know that I should (chorus) Im not going to get stuck here Ill take any way out And if I starve out in the desert Then you won’t hear me shout I saw you staring out the window Just waiting for the dawn But by the time that you get there Ill already have gone I saw you looking for the ghost town A strange gleam in your eye As if you thought that I might roam here And then have laid down to die (chorus) Well I can tell you truly mother I’ll never come back to this place All that’s here is reminders of time Left to spend or kill or waste. So I’ll be gone by the noontide Forever headed south And if you hear me again one day It’ll be with dirt in my mouth
