My Town Can Wait

from Abu Bozy by Adam Beattie

/

lyrics

Heading out of town on the ‘meldrum road

Got down to the station, the wind blew cold

My old suit jacket and my trilby hat

Lay blowing in the wind next to where I sat



Chorus:

My life I give to you world

Greet me with open arms

My town it can wait

It’s going to be great

I’ll come back and tell you all

I’ll come back and tell you all



The train heading south was coming, breaking through the night

It must have seen me waiting, my time in this town is out

My friends, I know I’ll miss them, a few of them I will write

I turn and touch the window, my town goes out of sight



Chorus



I woke up on the platform, dustman sweeping past

This rambling, hungry feeling has not the strength to last

So I walk back to the square, and look up at my house

“One day, I know I’ll leave you and take the train down south”



Chorus
