Here in My Hometown lyrics

There's a needle in the sole of the city, it's flying all around

Spray's a fine mist over, and switches off the sound

I watch you as you slip away, I watch the sun go down

It's such a perfect light here, here in my hometown

A calm is on the water, the air is very still

The sun it does not want to rise, it doesn't have the will

The day is all hungover, it's dirty and lowdown

And I am like a stranger, here in my hometown

And don't you feel sometimes like

Walking away from the world

Walking away from the world

You always took your chances, you always threw the dice

You knew they were loaded, you came close once or twice

Voices kept on calling, come on, come on down

You never stood a chance here, here in my hometown

You loved the beginning, never ready for the end

You've been gone for years now, but I can still pretend

Nothing anyone could do, you lay your money down

Now I see you everywhere, here in my hometown

And don't you feel sometimes like

Walking away from the world

Walking away from the world

You were in the pink chair, I saw into your eyes

Where would you like to be my love, you said paradise

I hope that is where you are, and you get to wear you crown

You left everything behind, here in my hometown

And don't you feel sometimes like

Walking away from the world

Walking away from the world

There's a needle in the sole of the city, watch out where you step

It's everywhere you care to look, and not where you expect

I watch the day roll over, I watch the sun go down

It's such a perfect light here, here in my hometown
