Jesse Couwenberg - Smalltown Boy Smalltown Girl

Back in the day
They crossed each other's way
A sunny garden where the butterflies
Butterflies stay
As he looks the girl
Turns her head
Then he smiles she tries to be mad
So he goes for her loving hand
She tries to walk away but
She can't pretend
Smalltown boy and a smalltown girl
Who try to find a place in this
In this world
It's the past that they
Can't relate to
They try to find a better
A better day
She doesn't know what father might say
When he knows this boy doesn't pray
Mother of the boy sees what goes around
A look in her eye then she makes
Make no sound
For the better
They shut their mouth
Can we take another road
Is what they doubt
Smalltown boy and a smalltown girl
Who try to find a place in this
In this world
It's the past that they
Can't relate to
They try to find a better
A better day
Early in the morning when the birds still whisper
Packing their stuff and a letter
To deliver
Take each other hands
And one look back
Tears in silence when they walk
Down the track
Smalltown boy and a smalltown girl
Leaving town to find a place
In this world
Smalltown boy and a smalltown girl
Who try to find a place in this
In this world
It's the past that they
Can't relate to
They try to find a better
A better day
