John Oates - Ghost Town

Copied!

There's a hard dark scar in the sky above
There's a storm cloud coming gonna bring a flood
You take what's left and you leave the rest behind
Words and pictures float away with memories of a better day
Ain't no one living in this house of love
Gotta fight the waves try to rise above
Pray my faith will keep me hanging on
Maybe help is on the way in the distance
I hear the zyedgo playing
Love lost and it can't be found I'm living in a ghost town
Not a sympathetic soul around sea the water rising ...wind and
Rain keeps drivin' me down
I'm living in a ghost town
I lost everything now I walk alone
Through the streets I know can't take me home
But when the rain is gone I know the sun will rise again
And the mornings' gonna come when the water's gone
And the zydegos' playing...
Chorus
