TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK

Patti Scialfa
They say love
Love has it's very own light
That can shine thru the darkest night
That we've heard of
And that light
That you may want so much
Well maybe you can never touch
Though you may try
Now at night I dream
I'm all alone
Big sledge hammer and a cold dark stone
Man swing the hammer
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

Now Eve
She stood by Adam's side
Somewhere in paradise
When the world was young
And their love
That was so pure and sound
Was cursed straight into the ground
That they walked on
Now somewhere in every kiss
I still feel the blame
Like a dirty link
In a long dark chain
Man pull the chain
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

You've got to work with me baby
You've got to work with me baby

She says "man"
I've given you my flesh and blood
But that just wasn't good enough
You wanted my soul
He says "girl"
No matter how hard I try
You just ain't ever satisfied
Oh no no no
Now at night the same dream
I'm all alone
Big sledge hammer and a cold dark stone
Man swing the hammer
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

You've got to work with me baby
You've got to work with me baby

Thanks to Terry at RMAS for the lyrics!
