Joseph Stay - Ghost Town, WI

Things are never what they seem
Thoughts are blocks that build bad dreams
She never meant to do me any harm
And if this bandaged brain I wear
Reminds me of the girl who's not there
I'll keep my memories down on Jennings' farm

Now Jack is nimble, Jack is swift
But stumbles on her ragged gift
On cool and cloudy days she keeps me warm
And through these obstacles I ride
Gently swings she by my side
I'll keep my memories down on Jennings' farm

Thunder on the mountain, lightning in the sky
A muse that used to comfort all my needs
Like junctions on a well-worn map I'm just another guy
Spinning circles, dizzying, I take the nearest street

Took French leave and went to France
To see Parisian women dance
But none could match the beauty of your charm
While dressed up visions I pursue
Imagined thoughts and dreams of you
I'll keep my memories down on Jennings' farm

It's not the heart but hands that feels
It's not the heart but brain that heals
You linger on the wrong side of my alarm
But while we stay apart as such
I won't need you to be my crutch
I'll keep my memories down on Jennings' farm

But when the days fly past and beauty lies around
I'd rather keep the summers for my own
I'll drop a line and later find it lying on the ground
But I'd rather leave it in the dirt than leave you two alone

Ripped you off like a tourniquet
The wound still bleeds but anyway
You cling like an adhesive to my arm
And if these silly games we play
All begin and end this way
I'll keep my memories down on Jennings' farm
