lirik lagu bill morrissey - man from out of town

Loading...

[verse 1]
the house burned down on a rainy night
and they never did find out why
i just stood alone ‘neath the silver maple
trying to keep my cigarettes dry
waiting for the firemen
i couldn’t save a thing
and deep inside my home above the roar of the flame
i swore i heard my telephone ring
the rain let up and we worked ’til dawn
just me and the firemen
and when they cut the power, the lines went dead
and i never got called again
the house was gone by the break of dawn
the air was cold and gray
i just set off down the road alone
but it’s always gone that way

[verse 2]
so young, so long ago
i thought i heard that train
calling out my name
at least it sounded like my name
just a boy with no direction
i left my home behind
and the sky changed color
once i crossed that town line
my good friends did the best they could
to hold me down with them
but i took one look and i packed my bags
and i slipped around the bend
the lessons came from left and right
the first night out i found
ah, the laws were not meant to protect
the man from out of town
[verse 3]
there was a cold street on the sea coast
i once tried to call home
where the church steeples rose up
above the town like broken bones
drinking whiskey with the catholic priest
one night in the rectory hall
he just shook his head and said
“you never know when jesus calls”
then his eyes got wide and he looked around
but he just could not explain
was like he heard the sound of jesus laugh
the way i heard that train

[verse 4]
now the years and the faces blur
still i can remember some
there were women washing windows
there were salesgirls chewing gum
there were curses in the shapes of old men
kneeling in the pews
there are things in this life
a man just does not get to choose
so finally i found a home
in a tiny mountain town
just a simple place to keep me dry
when the rain came pouring down
a place to sleep, the rent was cheap
brick walls and a new slate roof
well, the landlord said, “you’ll be safe here
this house is fireproof”
