Small Town Living
Took a walk out to the side of town
To a street I used to know
Past the place they tore the factory down
Where the lonesome people go
Caught my eye as she was standing there
Taking in the evening glow
There was promise on the April air
And it was all I'd ever known
Then she told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Met her first beside the station wall
She was a passing midnight train
Destination was a curtain call
Empty pavement in the rain
Then she told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Then she told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Pages turn like you're twenty-one
And you're serenading roses in the rain
When I think about her now
It's good to know a drink will numb the pain
There's a season surely coming 'round
Colours turning in the trees
We'll be leaving from this sleeping town
Sailing freely on the breeze
She told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
She told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Silhouettes across the sky
Silhouettes across the sky
To a street I used to know
Past the place they tore the factory down
Where the lonesome people go
Caught my eye as she was standing there
Taking in the evening glow
There was promise on the April air
And it was all I'd ever known
Then she told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Met her first beside the station wall
She was a passing midnight train
Destination was a curtain call
Empty pavement in the rain
Then she told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Then she told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Pages turn like you're twenty-one
And you're serenading roses in the rain
When I think about her now
It's good to know a drink will numb the pain
There's a season surely coming 'round
Colours turning in the trees
We'll be leaving from this sleeping town
Sailing freely on the breeze
She told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
She told me
Small town living leaves you lonely
Won't you turn around and hold me?
Silhouettes across the sky
Silhouettes across the sky
Silhouettes across the sky
