Weary Town

We never knew it would go this far

Storefronts closed, no light on at the bar

What if we just vanished, would anyone care

In appeal to above, who would say a prayer

This used to be a place where dreams came true

These hands worked hard, still so much more to do

One more flood, one more factory gone

What’s it gonna take for us to hold on

Will the rains pour down

And wash away this weary town

With any hope to hold on to anymore

Let the teardrops fall

Feels like we’re up against a levee wall

And I know we’re gonna drown

In this weary town

It’s just the ghosts now of days gone by

An empty road on a Sunday drive

I wonder can we ever get it back again

Maybe someday but I don’t know when

Will the rains pour down

And wash away this weary town

With any hope to hold on to anymore

Let the teardrops fall

Feels like we’re up against a levee wall

And I know we’re gonna drown

In this weary town

We’ve heard the mountains rumble and we’ve seen the oceans churn

With long forgotten lessons

That we still have yet to learn

There’s a wistful question turning over in my mind

Can we trade tomorrow

For another place in time

Will the rains pour down

And wash away this weary town

With any hope to hold on to anymore

Let the teardrops fall

Feels like we’re up against a levee wall

And I know we’re gonna drown

In this weary town

Yes I know we’re gonna drown

In this weary town
