Marshall Crenshaw - Our Town текст песни

(m. crenshaw)

I hear something in the sounds that surround me

That only seems to remind me

That Im lost and longing for a different place and time

I wanna be walking down the avenue

Tall buildings staring down on me and you

But all I have is pictures running through my mind

Chorus:

Sunlight dying

People rushing madly all around

Sirens crying

Gotta grab the next thing back to our town

Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

Do you remember the promise I gave you?

The one I swore I would hold to

Well youre there,

Im here and everything I said was wrong

So were not out with the crowd nights

Not walking under the bright lights

All I can do is dream about it all night long.

Chorus: (as above)

Bridge:

Its the place where we keep our hopes and dreams

The place where I lost my heart it seems

All people looking for danger and romance

Drop by there while you still have the chance

cause its all gonna tumble down

Its gonna shake apart and crumble to the ground.
