2 Contributors Almosttown Lyrics[Verse 1]
Cold stone beneath my feet
Wrapped in furs and dressing gown
November night caressed my face
The only fond touch I allow
Moonlight floods my bedroom through the window where I gaze
From far above the mad and merry crowd
[Verse 2]
Candlelight and laughter warms their windows, crease their faces
Around the bonfire in the square, the songs of all their ages
They're the lost and broken, I'm their keeper in the keep
But they sing words that I can't bear to speak aloud
[Chorus]
They sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn't wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So don't wait until your life is over
Say your piece now
Or join the lost souls in my Almosttown
[Verse 3]
Now I spend eternity with songs I never wrote
Peace in isolation, in the fortress I call home
Perched in a stone gesture looming lonely in the sky
Musing on those endless might-have-beens
You might also like[Chorus]
While they sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn't wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So keep your dream alive
Never bend or bow
Or you'll join the lost souls in my Almosttown
[Bridge]
Did I choose the wrong fate?
Will I ever know?
Realising too late
Don't know where to go
All those years spent dreaming, fighting
Never knowing why I can't deny what I have always been
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
They sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn't wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So keep your dream alive
Never bend or bow
Or you'll join the lost souls in my Almosttown
