I wait in hope of every day
Changes come as changes may
With every fear that I allayI have a horror of this place
Yet I'm accustomed to it's face
And I am safe within it's mazeBut you leave me nothin'
In my hometown
And now you want to pull us downBut I can hope
And I can pray
And I will stayI traced my way from Bluebell Hill
To the park and further still
Onto the rise beyond the moundsAnd from this point I could see
My life in it's entirety
Mapped before me on the groundBut you leave me nothing
In my hometown
And now you want to pull us downBut I can hope
And I can pray
And I will stayLet the cold air bite my face
For I am angry at this place
Wherein nothing stays the sameIt breaks my heart to let you go
When deep inside us we both know
That you will not be back againBut you leave me nothing
In my hometown
And now you want to pull us downBut I can hope
And I can pray
And I will stay
