Written during "Dark Songs 2011" at the Holiday Music Motel.
lyrics
Flashing stop lights blowing in the wind
Alone on Main Street once again
All the bars are open but the crowds have all grown thin
Alone on Main Street once again
Weekend bikers leave their angels in the dust
I need a vision I can trust
I'm living in a ghost town, ghost town
Soul survivor, leaves all turning brown
Ghost town
You left Sunday as I opened up the shop
I found your earring on the counter top
I thought to call you but the fantasy was gone
It's hard to wake up all alone
Fading photos, just the two of us
I need a vision I can trust
I'm living in a ghost town, ghost town
Soul survivor, leaves all turning brown
Ghost town
People come here always looking to break free
With no idea how their lives could really be
Season's crowds keep coming
People push and shove
Turn around and leave this town I love
Ghost town
