The Town's Silent Night JP

[Verse] Under neon lights, in a bar off Main, There sat a man whispering her name. A weathered photograph in his hand, Dreams of a life they'd once planned. [Verse 2] She left town in a dusty old Ford, Chasing dreams she couldn't afford. Left him with a lonesome refrain, And a pocket full of nothing but pain. [Chorus] Midnight came, and shadows grew, Memories of her in each drink he knew. The jukebox played their favorite line, In that small town, time stood still, divine. [Verse 3] He heard rumors of her in the big city, But his heart knew the truth, a bitter pity. Tears fell like rain on an empty street, Where love and sorrow so often meet. [Verse 4] One cold winter, she returned undone, The city had chewed her, spat her out like gum. They met by the river, where years had passed, Silent apologies in the water's cast. [Chorus] Midnight came, and shadows grew, Memories of her in each drink he knew. The jukebox played their favorite line, In that small town, time stood still, divine.
