Ghost Town
(jo davidson)
I have cried enough tears to wash my dishes
I have paced all the roads in my heart
They're all dusty, abandoned and deserted
How'd I come to this Ghost Town
You were not one to show your true feelings
And by that I guess I should've known
When I knocked I was hoping you'd answer
There was spiritually nobody home
Oh these wells are out of water
And the sun beats on my back
No one's left to wear the memories
But the beat up railroad track
Well I've gambled enough to be nervous
And I've lost enough bets to be dead
Here I thought you were one in a million
Someone should've examined my head
When you told me my eyes were the bluest
Of blue eyes you ever had seen
I went right for you hook, line and sinker
Altogether forgot they were green
Oh these wells are out of water
And the sun beats on my back
No one's left to wear the memories
But the beat up railroad track
I could paint you like a picture
If I had the will to care
But to breathe your love I'm choking
From the dust that's in the air
There is only one light on the main street
And there's really nobody around
Well I thought you'd be like an old Western
But you were only a Ghost Town
