Griffin House - Once Upon a Time in Ballard Town

{Verse 1}
Well, I made my way to the Great Northwest
To the sleepy little town that I love the best
I rode the ferry in the salty breeze
As the fog came rollin' through the Doug Fir Trees
Beheld the water on the Puget Sound
Once upon a time in Ballard town

{Chorus}
Ballard town, oh, Ballard town
There's no place like it anywhere I've found

{Verse 2}
6 miles north of King Street Station
If you're ride those rails into Washington
On the Salmon Bay in the misty rain
I took a stroll down the old brick lane
As the autumn lеaves gathered on thе ground
Once upon a time in Ballard town

{Chorus}
Ballard town, oh, Ballard town
There's no place like it anywhere I've found

{Verse 3}
She whispers to me as the full moon glows
In the early morning hours when the fog horn blows
She keeps a secret in the pink-blue sky
Where the sidewalks glitter and the seahawks fly
Above the harbor as the sun goes down
Once upon a time in Ballard town

{Chorus}
Ballard town, oh, Ballard town
There's no place like it anywhere I've found

{Verse 4}
In the bars and the taverns and the old hotel
On a warm October I remember well
I walked the docks past the fishermen
In the garden by the locks where the ships come in
Where I dreamed my dream and I drank my fill
And I wrote my story while the time stood still
As the shadows fell and my sorrows drowned
Once upon a time in Ballard town

{Chorus}
Ballard town, oh, Ballard town
There's no place like it anywhere I've found
Ballard town, oh, Ballard town
There's no place like it anywhere I've found
