My Town Lyrics - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

When I awake I think of you 

Who made my heart break and made me feel like a fool 

You led me on just to bring me down 

And I fell so low 

So if the stars are out tonight 

I'll get up and go 

On my way, I walked through town 

Stopped at your house 

But you weren't around 

The lights were on to ward off thieves 

While you stayed out all night 

But it was you who stole my heart 

When you hadn't any right 

It's my town but I had to leave it 

And head South where the climate is kind 

And if a time comes when I'm feeling better 

I'll be back like the birds in the Spring 

Paid my fare and I took the train 

I'd soon forget but now I felt the pain 

I tried to think of better days lying in my berth 

But I pondered revenge, for what it was worth
