Sleeping Town Songtext / Lyric

Swing upon a rope
Watching crickets fly
Wishing on apoison well
See the red dust rise

Day in,day out the sun goes round
Day in,day out the moon goes round
Day in,day out
But no one ever says a word
In this sleeping town

Little girl loves a back door man
And her father cries
Until the water rises high enough
Until his virtue dies

Day in,day out the sun goes round
Day in,day out the moon goes round
Day in,day out
But no one ever says a word
In this sleeping town

And under a crown of thorns
He deigned no reply
And the mob of reckless lust
Began to fade before his eyes

Day in,day out the sun goes round
Day in,day out the moon goes round
Day in,day out
But no one ever says a word
In this sleeping town
