Ashen Town Lyrics

INTRO: Am G7 C F G C
N.C. Am G7 C
Here lies the village church
No cross no hymn no verse
All the colours congregate in shades of grey
And the choir no longer sings
And the bell no longer rings
Here lies the village church
N.C. Am G7 C
Here stands the general store
Dust beams point to the floor
And nails in rusty cans that never sold
There's a faded 'Sorry Closed'
On a peeling painted door
Here stands the general store
CHORUS:
And I just walk around
Through this ashen town
Leaving not a trace
Of the last ghost in this place
N.C. Am G7 C
Here waits the family home
Forsaken and alone
On the walls that kept them all so safe and warm
Peeling paper water stained
'God's Blessing' in it's frame
Here waits the family home
CHORUS:
And I just walk around
Through this ashen town
Leaving not a trace
Of the last ghost in this place
CHORUS:
And I just walk around
Through this ashen town
Leaving not a trace
Of the last ghost in this place
N.C. Am G7 C
Here rests my father's bones
With cracked and fallen stones
Marked by weathered cross and worn words
No flowers left behind
To mark the passing time
Here rests my father's bones
CHORUS:
And I just walk around
Through this ashen town
Leaving not a trace
Of the last ghost in this place
CHORUS:
And I just walk around
Through this ashen town
Leaving not a trace
Of the last ghost in this place
