I Was A Town

I WAS A TOWN words and music by Karyn Oliver

Can anybody tell me what lies over there?
Out beyond the bridge where no one goes
I see houses behind fences
Behind signs that say “Beware”

I was a town
I was a town
I was a town

Mr. Gordon says his Mom lived over there
Told him things that no one wants to know
There was a factory, schools and churches
State’s biggest county fair

She was there, the air was thick
With things she can’t pronounce
She saw fire, so much fire
Now it’s all buried in the ground

Late at night if I dare to go over there
Just beyond the bridge where no one goes
I hear voices, whispers
Echoes in the air
