The Vegabonds
Ghost Town
(Verse 1)
The man on the evening news, said the world’s gonna end here soon
So you lay out your Sunday dress. I wear my tie and vest
We’ll leave here looking fine. Make a toast with our favorite wine
When the lights go out we’ll burn the…candle I gave you for Christmas

(Chorus)
The streets are empty now
This city’s a ghost town
Everybody’s with who they love
And we’re alone here in your room

(Verse 2)
We talk about how we met. Share one last cigarette
Then I play your favorite love songs. You dance and sing along
We laugh until we cry. Saying we’re too young to die
And we make love while the sirens, announce the final hour

(Chorus)
The streets are empty now
This city’s a ghost town
Everybody’s with who they love
And we’re alone here in your room
I held you through the night
We never closed our eyes
The sun came up again
And this old world still spins
Here in this ghost town
Here in this ghost town
Here in this ghost town
We’re still alone up in your room
(Outro)
The man on the evening news, said the world’s gonna end here soon
