Emma Stephenson, Jane Irving - This Town Lyrics

In melody I wake up
I'm wiser and I'm strong
Each time I find myself a song
But emptiness is not far
And darkness has a way
Of sneaking over shade by shade
Shade by shade
The sky can go from blue to grey...

Something about this town Promises to make you bold
I'll stay in spite of the cold
That bites for a season
Somehow the frost gives you a reason To keep moving

Across a deep blue ocean
I have a home, I know
It seems that's where the seeds got sown
At times my mind would wander
It would not settle down
I longed to stand on solid ground Solid ground
And yet the walls could spin around...

Here in this town I'll wait Something
I know can be done I'll stay in spite of the sun The scorch of July
A little heat keeps the dream alive You keep moving
And though my fears are present
They come and go like rain
Like water flowing down a drain I'd dive into the arctic
And brave an icy wind
To sanctify the hope within Hope within
And all that's waiting to begin
