Lyrics
In Town
And the sun has stopped it's shining.
And Mother Nature has begun to wear a frown.
Because her trees have all turned to ashen.
And the mountains have begun a tumbling down.
And it hurt me, when I saw you, heading to town.
And my hands have gotten calluses.
And my feet are too numb to even step.
And my back is bent from loneliness.
And my brain is aching for a little rest.
And it hurt me, when I saw you, laughing in town.
And I've tried to bring you my happiness.
All my love, and a child brought, to a nest.
But still you walk away, without trying,
Or sighing, or crying Babe.
And you know, that I've done my, very best.
And it hurt me, when you made love, to another in town.
