This Town Lyrics

This town, old town
The place I spend my younger years
The house that sheltered me from fear
The only time I ever cried
Is when I could not play

This girl, my girl
We met when I was just a lad
A happiness we never had
The only time that I was sad
Was when I could not stay

I run away from her
To seek my fame
Now that I found it
Well, it's not the same

This town, old town
This place has washed upon the shore
And here I am beside your door
But you are gone forevermore
Alone, me and the sea

I run away from her
To seek my fame
Now that I found it
Well, it's not the same

This town, old town
This place has washed upon the shore
And here I am beside your door
But I will stay forevermore
Alone, me and the sea
Alone, me and the sea
Oh, ohhhh, oh, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, the sea
