Lonelytown

Spin the globe stop and start

Come to a place that's torn apart

Here's a secret it's my heart

Oh well

It's only

Broken shutters whistling wind

Vultures circling overhead

Tumbleweeds fly

Dust in my eyes

Guess it's not my feelings crying

Peeling paint on empty homes

Where people lived in this town long ago

Packed their bags nailed down the door

To Lonelytown

Oh I once had a love of my life

The sun of my soul

But I took him for granted

Ignored all the signs

And now it's just memories and passing ghosts

Spiderwebs and weeds waist high

Abandoned schoolyards and rusted wire

Looking for love

Looking for life

In Lonelytown

If you're lucky with a love of your own

Remember this in a nutshell I've told:

Hold them close and don't let go

And cherish forevermore

Or you will live in Lonelytown
