Our Town

In our town by the water everything's older
the winters are colder than anything i've ever seen
so close your eyes and hold on
i'll button my sweater throw on your jacket let's take a walk down
to the riverside lakeshore drive

we're waiting for the sun
but summer will never come
we're waiting for the sun
but here comes the rain
here comes the rain
here comes the rain

seems we've been here forever
grown up together
now i've got to go away
dont try to follow me now
just close your eyes and hold on
post cards and letters sending
love along the wire a warm christmas fire
this is our town and she's beautiful tonight

we're waiting for the sun
but summer will never come
we're waiting for the sun
but here comes the rain
here comes the rain
here comes the rain

if i could be there tonight
this song would never sing
these notes would never ring inside your ears
making it clear that i'm missing
something
if i could be there tonight
if i could i would try
if i could be anywhere else
but where i stand now i would move
would move closer to you
closer to you
closer to you
closer
