Dear Home Town

Great Big Sea

1. No one knows
   What's waiting where you go
   Nothings certain but the fact that you're leaving
   
   But still you roam
   From the straight and narrow road
   Riding nothing but the lies that you believe in

2. Frame after frame
   The pictures still remain
   Photographs of all the hearts you've broken
   
   Frozen in time
   Are the ghosts you left behind
   Waiting for the words you left unspoken

   
R: Dear Home Town
   I never meant to let you down
   When I sold my soul for a song
   The dreams are to blame
   They still linger and remain
   In the heart of a child who's been gone
   Dear Home Town

3. Tell the girl
   It's a wide and wondrous world
   Room enough to leave a life your hating
   
   The highway runs both ways
   And there's seat's left on the train
   If you take it to the station, I'll be waiting

R: Dear Home Town...


*: Tell my Mom
   That I miss her lovin' smile
   Tell my Father
   That I really miss his laughter

4. Tell my sisters and my brothers
   Tell my friends and all the others
   That we'll meet in the Sweetest Hereafter


R: Dear Home Town... (2x)
