Lonely Town Lyrics - Courage - Paula Cole

Spin the globe, stop and start 

Come to a place that's torn apart 

Here's a secret, it's my heart 

Oh well, it's only 

Broken shutters, whistling wind 

Vultures circling overhead 

Tumbleweeds fly, dust in my eyes 

Guess, it's not my feelings crying 

Peeling paint on empty homes 

Where people lived in this town long ago 

Pack their bags, nail down the door 

To Lonely Town 

Oh, I once had a love of my life 

The sun of my soul 

But I took him for granted, ignored all the signs 

And now it's just memories and passing ghosts 

Spider webs and weeds waist high 

Abandoned schoolyards and rusted wire 

Looking for love, looking for life 

In Lonely Town 

If you're lucky with a love of your own 

Remember this in a nutshell and I've told 

Hold them close and don't let go 

And cherish forevermore 

Or you will live in Lonely Town
