A Town Called Amen Lyrics


The days of our innocence and grace flow by
The smiles we wear upon our face blow by
Oh, the sweet wine of youth
Goes sour over time
Seems like the more that you lose
The more you ache to find
A town called Amen
Like a bright-eyed smile
For some long lost friend
It's a town called Amen
Sit at the window sill
See the children rushing by
Come a flood of summer rain
Strange increments of time
How the wild engines run
Burning shadows from our minds
Lord when the purging gets done
I sure pray what's left behind

Is a town called Amen
Like a bright-eyed smile
For some long lost friend
It's a town called Amen
Come lay down on this bed
Hey, close your weary eyes
Like the clouds above our heads
Life slowly passes by
Did you kiss the dog you love
When you were a little child?
Will you lay in the arms of
Some sweet reverie a while?
In a town called Amen
Like a bright sunrise
Hey, if you open up your eyes
You're in a town called Amen, Amen

Jim White is a southern gothic alt-country singer-songwriter. He has released four albums as a solo artist.

While his music is based in americana, he borrows elements from rock, rhythm and blues, and even electronica, often piecing sounds together in the lo-fi cut-and-paste fashion of artists like Tom Waits. His albums have featured a wide variety of collaborators, such as Victoria Williams, Morcheeba, Aimee Mann, Barenaked Ladies, and Joe Henry. He is signed to David Byrne's Luaka Bop label and appeared in the BBC documentary, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which looks at musicians inspired by the culture of the American South.

Not be confused with the acclaimed Dirty Three / Cat Power / Smog / P. J. Harvey / Nina Nastasia drummer, who also had a recent collaboration album "You Follow Me" with Nastasia under the name of Nina Nastasia And Jim White
