Kate Rusby - Our Town lyrics

rate me

This is an Iris Dement song that Kate covered and it should probably be noted that way.

And ya know the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

Go on now and kiss it goodbye

But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die

Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town

Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town

Goodnight.

Up the street beside the red neon light

That's where I met my baby one hot summer night

He was the tender and I ordered a beer

It's been twenty years and I'm still sittin' here.

And ya know the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

Go on now and kiss it goodbye

But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die.

Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town

Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town

Goodnight.

It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss

I've walked down Main street in the cold morning mist

Over there is where I bought my first car

It turned over once but then it never went far.

And ya know the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

Go on now and kiss it goodbye

But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die

Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town

Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town

Goodnight
