about

This song was a poem...and then the music cried out.

lyrics

Sundown On a Ghost Town

A landscape so bleak words can’t speak

A soundtrack paints the hole that time can’t take

Pain comes in waves over open plains

and seeps into the cracks of dawn



In the corner of apartments on every side

Hearts sneak out exits and explode on the streets

Crossing mighty waters down in the flood

collapsing in postcards to real to be sent



Yea down in the flood where the bodies went

The cry of the orphans is the echo you hear

No turning the head no shutting of eyes

just a lone guitar and that hawk in the sky



Sundown on a ghost town is lonely indeed

Sundown on a ghost town might be the cover you need

Sundown on a ghost town is lonely indeed

Sundown on a ghost town might be the cover you need



Another dead Cardinal, is it a sign?

Blood on the window, blood on the ground

Sundown on a ghost town is all we found

Very superstitious in the cold deep north



The woods, the frost, the killing air

You should’ve let her be, never taken her there

The memories won’t leave you where ever you hide

Your soul is a ghost town where ever you go


Sundown on a ghost town is lonely indeed

Sundown on a ghost town might be the cover you need

Sundown on a ghost town is lonely indeed

Sundown on a ghost town might be the cover you need
