Old Town
As the winds blow away,
The ashes of an empty day...
I stand alone in washed out embers,
Looking on forever...
At the broken skies,
High above...
And those who died,
For what they love...
I was lost and then you found me,
Finally learned how to live free...
Was once a damned, forgotten soul,
What a sad, cold way to go...
Found with a heart torn to shreds,
But somehow I wasn't truly dead...
You helped me up and let me go,
Into a world I didn't really know...
Fixed my heart with threads of love,
I turned around but you were gone...
You cut me loose and I fell apart,
Then I woke with a shocking start...
To find that it was just a dream,
That it was never really meant to be...
And that I'm alone in this old town,
Nothin' left but to try and get out...
