T-Bone Burnett - The Town That Time Forgot Lyrics




[ Featuring Lucius ]

In the town that time forgot
When you lose a little, you lose a lot
And what it is, it is not

He had left before the dawn
Erasing any lines they had drawn
Unknowing she'd already be gone
Unknown as a man of parts
Without a master of the arts
The game is lost before it starts

In the town that time forgot
When you lose a little, you lose a lot
And what it is, it is not

He had heard an audience applaud
But with his only hope outlawed
The chances slim, the chasm broad
The last bell tolled, the curtain fell
The libertine, the infidel
Were in a hypnotic spell

In the town that time forgot
When you lose a little, you lose a lot
And what it is, it is not

And the wind keeps blowing
They say it's gonna bring a change
Fear of God is knowing
It's always gonna be the same

Gone without a trace
Into the walls of time
Shadows move apace in pantomime
Something in this place
I can redraw every line
And still feel lost looking for a sign

I've never seen her face
I was always a step behind
Or maybe she's here now and I'm just blind
Or maybe she's here now and I'm just blind
