Drowned Town by India Ramey Lyrics
Do your church bells still ring
Underneath the liquid sky
As the sun penetrates
And dances on your cold floor like a strobe light
There you stand forever
Remembering the day
When the living and the dead
All drifted away
Once the gristmill made flour
Till they came and built that wall
Now the only enterprise
Are the catfish scavengers swimming through your halls
There you stand forever
Remembering the day
When the living and the dead
All drifted away
The marble headstone still stand
Where the forgotten rest their bones
Lost in time
Their spirits through your murky boulevards still roam
There you stand forever
Remembering the day
When the living and the dead
All drifted away
Underneath the liquid sky
As the sun penetrates
And dances on your cold floor like a strobe light
There you stand forever
Remembering the day
When the living and the dead
All drifted away
Once the gristmill made flour
Till they came and built that wall
Now the only enterprise
Are the catfish scavengers swimming through your halls
There you stand forever
Remembering the day
When the living and the dead
All drifted away
The marble headstone still stand
Where the forgotten rest their bones
Lost in time
Their spirits through your murky boulevards still roam
There you stand forever
Remembering the day
When the living and the dead
All drifted away
