Jim White - A Town Called AmenLyrics

The days of our innocence and grace flow by The smiles we wear upon our face blow by Oh, the sweet wine of youth Goes sour over time Seems like the more that you lose The more you ache to find A town called Amen Like a bright-eyed smile For some long lost friend It's a town called Amen Sit at the window sill See the children rushing by Come a flood of summer rain Strange increments of time How the wild engines run Burning shadows from our minds Lord when the purging gets done I sure pray what's left behind Is a town called Amen Like a bright-eyed smile For some long lost friend It's a town called Amen Come lay down on this bed Hey, close your weary eyes Like the clouds above our heads Life slowly passes by Did you kiss the dog you love When you were a little child? Will you lay in the arms of Some sweet reverie a while? In a town called Amen Like a bright sunrise Hey, if you open up your eyes You're in a town called Amen, Amen
