This Town

Well this is the way I remember this town

Peaceful and dreamlike and warm

With a fine green mist all that remains

Of a late afternoon thunderstorm

Soon the streetlight will shine on the sidewalk

Some kid left his bike in the rain

And in the twilight sky I squint my eyes

This old town still looks the same

I came to this town to remember

Somebody I used to be

A kid who believed he could see the whole world

From the top of a mulberry tree

Now that I'm getting older

I keep both my feet on the ground

But I'm still looking over my shoulder

For that kid that I left in this town

I can circle the block and park across the street

From the house where on Saturday night

We'd talk about places we've never been

'Til your father would flash the hall light

Sometimes it seems like a long time ago

Sometimes it's just like yesterday

But it wouldn't take long in this sleepy old town

For me to believe I could stay

I came to this town to remember

Somebody I used to be

A kid who believed he could see the whole world

From the top of a mulberry tree

Now that I'm getting older

I keep both my feet on the ground

But I'm still looking over my shoulder

For that kid that I left in this town

And if I could paint myself back in this picture

I'd find me a tall tree to climb

And look down from above on the town that I love

Through the eyes of a child one more time

Now that I'm getting older

I keep both my feet on the ground

But I'm still looking over my shoulder

For that kid that I left in this town
