If the Walls Could Talk in this Ghost Town

Lyrics

If the walls could talk in this Ghost Town They would tell you why everyone left Honest men just dying to leave Ditching liars claiming they can raise the dead Its the grave site where love goes to die Drenched in bitter hate from words left unsaid Every moment is a dark stormy night This be where ghosts reside but it's sure not home in their head Decrepit schools house aches of children crossed over Sulking in overgrown shrubs all alone Graves of babes in rows do hover Who never learned to read not even a headstone Crippling poverty now embodied by the closed bank now entangled in moss Next door to the general store where only desperate rats for years fed To starvation lives were lost Father's and husbands did fail Mother's and wives skipped town found love elsewhere Abandoned children cried to ghosts from their night mare's wasting away with no one else there The towns folk could not lie their way out to slip past the final judge for their countless sins unatoned A monument frozen in time there only legacy the ruins of their former abode The final deceased residents never buried two that were just left for dead One wallowed in filth and hunger till their last breath wasted away in their bed One now just dry bones on a porch swing had put a cold steel barrel to their head
