Lyrics Great Big Sea

Great Big Sea

Dear Home Town

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

Bm

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)
