The Clarks - Talk Of The Town lyrics

We grew up not far from here An oaky street, the country air Porch lights, breezy nights Dreaming dreams of that girl so right Stand by her window when, the moon would rise And put her to bed, with my eyes Climbed a tree to get a better view I loved the girl, I never really knew She's the talk of the town (This town, this town) Talk of the town (This town, this town) White lace, the sun would shine Her Easter suit, pretending she was mine On holidays we'd meet in church At the sign of peace, for her I'd search She worked in town, at the five and dime And I'd dig for change, so I could stay in line My knees would shake, when I thought I'd meet her Cherry cola, palm sweating fever She's the talk of the town (This town, this town) Talk of the town (This town, this town) We grew up not far from here An oaky street, the country air Porch lights, breezy nights Dreaming dreams of that girl so right Older now, moved and gone I think of her, and what went wrong It seemed so right, It's just as well She was twice my age, when I was twelve She's the talk of the town (This town, this town) Talk of the town (This town, this town) Talk of the town (This town, this town)
