Somebody Else¡¯s Town (5:15)
|
Words: David Crosby and Jeff Pevar
|
Music: James Raymond
|
|
Blood is thicker than water
|
friendship¡¯s stronger than fear
|
love is God¡¯s favorite daughter
|
it¡¯s perfectly clear
|
I can see it tonight
|
in the comet¡¯s faint light
|
as my heels hit pavement
|
wet from the light
|
rain that¡¯s coming whispering down
|
on somebody else¡¯s town
|
|
A broken down diner
|
with three people in it
|
pulls my attention
|
for half a minute
|
I think about tryin¡¯ to talk
|
to explain why I¡¯m takin¡¯ this walk
|
|
Why a simple motel room
|
can be some kind of hell room
|
it¡¯s making me get up and stalk this way
|
cause I don¡¯t want to say that
|
I¡¯m down in somebody else¡¯s town
|
|
I am stronger than this
|
I have been here before
|
I am no freakin¡¯ kid
|
in his first taste of war
|
with the loneliness drifting
|
around here in
|
somebody else¡¯s town
|
|
Music spills out into the street
|
must be someone in there I could meet
|
but I think I will telephone home
|
hear that soft sleepy voice on the phone
|
keep them awake by the
|
sound of my talking
|
tell the truths I found out
|
walkin¡¯ in
|
somebody else¡¯s town
