Greg Brown - Our little town

Tekst :

Now the railroad came generations ago
And the town grew up as the crops did grow
The crops grew well and the town did too
They say it s dyin now and there ain t a thing we can do
I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The cost goes up
What we made comes down
What s gonna happen to our little town

The summer is full of thunder
The kids run and play
Momma got a new wrinkle
Poppa ain t got much to say
Rust grows along the railroad track
The young folks leave
They don t come back
And I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The boards go up
The signs come down
What s gonna happen to our little town

Tom lost his farm
And we lost Tom
He left in the night
I don t know where he s gone
What he d lost
He just couldn t face
What we re losin can t be replaced
I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The reason we re here
Is the farms around
So what s gonna happen to our little town

We ve seen hard times
Many times before
Maybe this whole thing is just one more
It never was perfect
Maybe no one s to blame
To see it die like this
It s a god damned shame
And I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The sun comes up
The sun goes down
But what s gonna happen to our little town

    Catch me

    I ve been standing on the edge of the roof looking down
    I ve been looking at the people that are gathering around
    I ve been here for an hour or maybe even more
    just looking at the people that I ve never seen before
    stupid...

    In this room

    Sitting in this room, dark and gloom
    Four walls look to me to be Hell
    Sitting in this room sucks so bad
    And I might as well be off in jail

    Everybody outside these walls to me seem so plastic
    They seem so phony and so unreal

    They tell you do this, don t do that
    Do...

    Pauza de viata

    E e un timp al banilor
    in care noi acum traim
    cand altii in jur ofteaza grabiti
    noi inca vietii ii zambim

    II.

    Banii pot cumpara aproape totul
    dar nimic din toate nu-si are rostul
    sa fii bun ...
    doar dragostea ne-nvata
    hai sa luam o pauza de viata

    III.

    Ti se soptesc numai minciuni
    rostite cu-atata eleganta
    nu mai putem...

    One step to heaven

    Just the slightest touch of you
    sends my passion rushing through
    and baby you can always count on me
    because you answer all my fantasy

    BRIDGE
    And when the weekend people wanna knock you down
    remember we all fly to higher ground...

    Anyone can see i love you

    Anyone can see I love you
    Anyone can see I care
    The way I hold your hand
    And smile in your direction
    Shows the world my heart is filled
    With nothing but affection

    Lock me in your arms forever
    That is where...
