Forty Mile Town

Forty Mile Town - Eric Johnson (埃裡克·約翰遜)

I got a way I can find you

Down the melody ranch

I know you're there most everyday

That's where you like to spend some time alone

I need to talk to you

Tell you what I feel

Like warm hellos in the morning mist

And you're the magic that turns my heart around

Seems to me we're really living way too fast

Oh when we should let the story of love last

Sometimes I just want to go and drift away

And move on to some fourty mile town

I got a way I can see you

Close my eyes to watch the ancient water flow

Like a crystal dance that paupers know so well

That's the way kings keep dreamin'

Hold their head up high

And live below fourty mile skys

The way that it can be in ocean towns

Things of this world

Guess we never really own

Oh that mountain falls

And then we're goin' home

We should try to make the best and get away

And work on towards a fourty mile town

Seems to me we really need to feel love more

Oh and ordinary simle opens the door

Sometimes all I want to do is dream away

And wake up in some fourty mile town
