Chris Aitken – Isolated Town (remix) lyrics

Isolated Town (Chris Aitken)

Intro

Verse 1: Leaves fall as if on the sidewalk
but there is no sidewalk – just leaves
Cars pass by me on my way
but there's no highway – just cars
We have leaves and we have cars
All of this and more
Trains pull most of the loads in
because there's no roads in – just trains

Interlude (short version of Intro)

Verse 2: Kids smile like there's no danger
and no one's a stranger to smiles
Folks wave like they all know you
and because you all know them you wave
We have kids and we have folks
We have us

Pre-chorus 1: When “us” is everyone around
you're not so fast to put your neighbour down

Chorus 1: I live in an Isolated Town...

Bridge: Chantal, you're the only single girl
I fell in love with you
Now I live in such a small world
What else could I do?

Verse 3: So tears fell like losing an old friend
but there was no old friend – just tears
The sun sets and takes up the whole sky
greedy old Mr Sun

Pre-chorus 2: We have tears and we have smiles and a sun that sets for miles and miles
until it goes down

Extended
Chorus: Bedtime in this Isolated Town
Nighttime in my Isolated Town
Lights out Moose Factory
Isolated Town
