Lyrics

We walked the streets of my town. We tried to talk the moon down.
Every word you said seemed to echo in my head.
We saw the sights there were to see, liked the cobblestone, the blossom tree,
The corner ice-cream store, and ?Antiques? spelled on every door.

In my town, we found a way to give ourselves another day,
One more chance to see us through.
In my town, I?ll stay until I can find a better way
To say goodbye to you.

Past the buildings and the signs, down the alleys till we find
A place to rest our feet ? halfway down on Caroline Street.
We talked of family and friends. We talked of character and sin
Until the hour drew and I had to say goodbye to you.

In my town, we found a way to give ourselves another day,
One more chance to see us through.
So in my town, I?ll stay until I can find a better way
To say goodbye to you.

Sometimes late at night, I go visit every sight.
All the ones that we once knew and once again I?m with you
A cool breeze stirs my mind and brings me back downtown to find
Your perfume?s still in the air.

So I walk the streets of my town and it?s strange that I?ve still found
Although you?re gone, you?re by my side and we still walk on.
And walking with my empty hands, I start to hear an old war band.
I find your favorite store, and miss you just a little more.

In my town, we found a way to give ourselves another day,
One more chance to see us through.
So in my town, I?ll stay till I can find a better way
To say goodbye to you.
