about

{1985 demo recording digitized from cassette, restored, edited, mixed and mastered}

lyrics

Standing tall and silent
I've seen every brick
I feel young and old
I feel sick

I hold a photograph
It slips through my hands
I think of looking forward
Instead of back
And sometimes love is a compensation
A slow current under the bridge
You and I have crossed it
In this town
In this town
In this town
In this town

A smokestack gray
Is laughter in the rain
A train track rusted
Won't carry me away
And sometimes love is a compensation
But I might ask whose it has been?
These awful times in a dulling fog
That live and die and crawl
In this town

And sometimes love is a compensation
A slow current under the bridge
One street might belong to a selfish man
You and I have crossed it
In this town
In this town
In this town
