First Rate Town şarkı sözleri

This is a first-rate town But all you ever notice are the ways it's stretched too far And it has been knocked down, well, some of us are still left here between the scars When you look around, all you ever notice is you cannot see the stars This is a first-rate town, a first-rate town you know You just can't see very far When the last door closed, you packed your clothes And went back to Montreal Said: It was colder there, a chill hangs in the air It helps you forget it all You left an empty bookshelf that I didn't fill till fall This is a first-rate town, a first-rate town you know You just can't see it at all Well, it will fade as all things must I loved you, but you didn't love me enough Winter comes, the car will rust I'll start it up, then always run a little rough This is a first-rate town and all you ever notice Are the ways it's stretched too far They keep the death rates down It's colder than a winter spent in defrosting cars We talked a lot of leaving, didn't think you'd get that far This is a first-rate town, a first-rate town you know You just can't see very far
