My Town (Remastered)

My Town - Kate & Anna McGarrigle

When I awake I think of you

Who made my heart break and made me feel like a fool

You led me on just to bring me down

And I fell so low

So if the stars are out tonight

I'll get up and go

On my way I walked through town

Stopped at your house

But you weren't around

The lights were on to ward off thieves

While you stayed out all night

But it was you who stole my heart

When you hadn't any right

It's my town but I had to leave it

And head South where the climate is kind

And if a time comes when I'm feeling better

I'll be back like the birds in the Spring

Paid my fare and I took the train

I'd soon forget but now I felt the pain

I tried to think of better days lying in my berth

But I pondered revenge for what it was worth

It's my town but I had to leave it

And head South where the climate is kind

And if a time comes when I'm feeling better

I'll be back like the birds in the Spring
