lyrics
I loved this little town
And all the fools who rushed down
On the Friday, Saturday exchange
They're all now cut adrift
Tumbling from my lips
A memory I feel but can't see
You're here and you won't change
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow sings its song
I realize I was wrong, but I can't change
All my words a dream, and your features darkening
I hear you answering that this can't be
For you're here and you won't change
But that don't mean I know
And that don't mean I'm coming home
I'm singing in the dark,
I'm alone and I'm apart
But I don't know
I'll be asking for your truth
But can I know and feel it too
Cause I don't know?
So throw your sail,
Throw it high,
I can't come home
So throw your sail, your sail
Throw it high,
I can't come home
You're here and you won't change
Like the past, we disappear
But my love must stay the same
But my love must stay the same
