I wait in hope of every day Changes come as changes may With every fear that I allay I have a horror of this place Yet I'm accustomed to it's face And I am safe within it's maze But you leave me nothin' In my hometown And now you want to pull us down But I can hope And I can pray And I will stay I traced my way from Bluebell Hill To the park and further still Onto the rise beyond the mounds And from this point I could see My life in it's entirety Mapped before me on the ground But you leave me nothing In my hometown And now you want to pull us down But I can hope And I can pray And I will stay Let the cold air bite my face For I am angry at this place Wherein nothing stays the same It breaks my heart to let you go When deep inside us we both know That you will not be back again But you leave me nothing In my hometown And now you want to pull us down But I can hope And I can pray And I will stay
