Little Compass

Our Town

Little Compass


In our town by the water everything's older 
the winters are colder than anything i've ever seen 
so close your eyes and hold on 
i'll button my sweater throw on your jacket let's take a walk down 
to the riverside lakeshore drive 

we're waiting for the sun 
but summer will never come 
we're waiting for the sun 
but here comes the rain 
here comes the rain 
here comes the rain 

seems we've been here forever 
grown up together 
now i've got to go away 
dont try to follow me now 
just close your eyes and hold on 
post cards and letters sending 
love along the wire a warm christmas fire 
this is our town and she's beautiful tonight 

we're waiting for the sun 
but summer will never come 
we're waiting for the sun 
but here comes the rain 
here comes the rain 
here comes the rain 

if i could be there tonight 
this song would never sing 
these notes would never ring inside your ears 
making it clear that i'm missing 
something 
if i could be there tonight 
if i could i would try 
if i could be anywhere else 
but where i stand now i would move 
would move closer to you 
closer to you 
closer to you 
closer
