i left the city troubles at the town

watched reflections of tears roll down her cheeks

why would she question

what we both know

still she remembers me

she even swore to me when i'm feeling weak

i can see her out i can't stay

oh to go back home and find her

just as i had known

you'll find it hidden there beyond the trees

my father planted in the lawn

when i was just a

when i was only just a boy

my mother's necklace lives sunk into the rising clay

when your mother called to tell you

that you won't be welcomed home

well i don't care what she said

shine your bright lights on our bodies

when the fire burns away

then we'll rip up the streets and the sidewalks

and burn each bridge we cross

when we come back through the town

we'll both take one last look around

and shake the dust from both of our heels

till it falls to the ground

to go back home and find her

just as i had known

you'll find it hidden there beyond the trees

my father planted in the lawn

when i was just a when i was only just a boy

my mother's necklace lies sunk into the rising

we all were hidden there beyond the trees

grow up this town will all be gone

and i am just a still i am only just a boy

my mother's necklace lies talking to

the rising clay
