This Town Lyrics

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
