town fathers Songtext / Lyric

You'd be a fool to reach out to me
And hit me on my blind side
When heartache comes round
It won't let you be
It hits you from the inside

Chorus:
When the town fathers lay down at night
They'll be dreaming of you
While you're reading by candlelight
Of a love so true
Waiting for you

Now, those old wagon towns
Struck fear through the land
Though in their hearts was a gold mine
The wind's rising 'cross
The clouds cool the sand
But we won't be home 'till the snow flies

(Chorus)
