lyrics

4. Greytown
Written by: Zack Kibodeaux and Greg Essington

Honey, I got my name upon the wall
In the ground floor level of desperation hall
And the heat is out, and the stairs don’t climb at all
Oh, but you can take the elevator down

Down to Greytown, where it don’t ever rain
Not in Greytown, no the light it shines all day
And it burns like fire all the colors out
Say when you gonna come and get me out, my Lord
‘Cause I’ve been praying

Well I belong to a storm inside my heart
And I drown in the worry from which I will not part
Oh, but the word is out that the boarding’s about to start
Calling all, the golden train is rolling out

Out of Greytown, where it don’t ever rain
Not in Greytown, oh the light it shines all day
And it burns like fire all the colors out
Say, when you gonna come and get me out, my Lord
‘Cause I’ve been praying
Oh that train I’m taking it

And though the ground I cannot walk on
And the water’s hard as stone
I believe you, I believe you
I was sad, but I was wrong
I wanted someone, Lord, to call
But you were shouting all along
