A Town Called Peace

This town is tough
But it ain’t giving up
If you ain’t left by now
You won’t never leave

This town has blown away
In a storm of age
And you and I won’t never sort it out
Till our souls’ release
Our town is peace

This house is hard
It’s made of bones and blood
And like our mother’s arms once
It keeps our hearts at ease

And when this song is over
We’ll go out to the edge of town
And think about those days when
We had no love and no house

Our love is old now
It’s full of cracks and weeds
And if you walk away before I
I’ll beg you back on my knees

And when our song is over
We’ll go out to the edge of town
Finally free of earthly burdens
We’ll have no need for this town
