Only the ghosts know

[Verse] Empty swings creak in the wind The laughter's gone it won’t begin Broken signs and faded paint A picture of a town that ain't [Prechorus] Windows boarded hearts shut tight Leaving shadows in the light [Chorus] Driving through these dying towns No voices left no joyful sounds Where did the children go Only the ghosts know [Verse 2] Once a diner buzzed with life Now a clock ticks like a knife Weeds grow where dreams were sown This town forgot it once was home [Chorus] Driving through these dying towns No voices left no joyful sounds Where did the children go Only the ghosts know [Bridge] Past the church past the mill The air so quiet it feels unreal A tumbleweed rolls slow Time forgot but I won’t let go
