Back In Town

I heard that she was back in town/but I haven't seen her yet

I wonder how her hair is now/I wonder if her heart is set

against me still

as it was

when she took that long drive East

I wish she would have warned me

you'd think she could have called at least



they've torn a couple churches down/they've put a couple condos in

but otherwise this town is how/I guess it's almost always been

and there's a pull

to this place

she was too weak to resist

there's something in the air here

I know it isn't me she's missed



I wonder why she came/I wonder if she cares

I wonder who's to blame/for answering my prayers



I lift my eyes

to a light

in her second-story rooms

I know somebody hurt her

at least that's what my heart assumes

has brought her back to town
