Hometown Blues Lyrics by Syd Arthur

Sound Mirror

2014

[Verse 1]
As I walk through this city on this stiff pathway
Oh, so much has changed here yet it stays the same
Familiar nostalgia in the evening glow
Eyes of the beholder watch the Alexanders drow
[Chorus]
Give me a reason now, a reason to stay
I gave all of my life but you left me astray
Forbidden futures are distant to dream, oh
I will return to you, but first I must leave
[Verse 2]
As I turn towards you pondering your grace
From the hills to the city in its solemn way
And I know I'll leave here maybe someday soon
Walk those streets till morning
I'll remember you
I'll remember you
[Chorus]
Give me a reason now, a reason to stay
I gave all of my life but you left me astray
Forbidden futures are distant to dream, oh
I will return to you, but first I must leave
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Give me a reason now, a reason to stay
I gave all of my life but you left me astray
Forbidden futures are distant to dream, oh
I will return to you, but first I must leave
Give me a reason now, a reason to stay
I gave all of my life but you left me astray
Forbidden futures are distant to dream, oh
I will return to you, but first I must leave
