Great Big Sea Dear Home Town
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
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
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
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
Tell my ma that I miss her lovin' smile
Tell my father that I really miss his laughter
Tell my sisters and brothers, my friends and all the
others
That we'll meet in the sweetest hereafter
Dear Hometown
