Forty Mile Town

I  got  a  way  I  can  find  you,

Down  the  melody  ranch,  I  know  you're  there  most  everyday,

That's  where  you  like  to  spend  some  time  alone.

I  need  to  talk  to  you,

Tell  you  what  I  feel,  like  warm  hellos  in  the  morning  mist,

And  you're  the  magic  that  turns  my  heart  around.

Seems  to  me,  we're  really  living  way  too  fast,

Oh  when  we  should  let  the  story  of  love  last.

Sometimes  I  just  want  to  go  and  drift  away...

And  move  on  to  some  fourty  mile  town.

I  got  a  way  I  can  see  you,

Close  my  eyes  to  watch  the  ancient  water  flow,

Like  a  crystal  dance  that  paupers  know  so  well.

That's  the  way  kings  keep  dreamin',

Hold  their  head  up  high  and  live  below  fourty  mile  skys,

The  way  that  it  can  be  in  ocean  towns

Things  of  this  world,  guess  we  never  really  own;

Oh  that  mountain  falls,  and  then  we're  goin'  home.

We  should  try  to  make  the  best  and  get  away...

And  work  on  towards  a  fourty  mile  town.

Seems  to  me  we  really  need  to  feel  love  more,

Oh,  and  ordinary  simle  opens  the  door.

Sometimes  all  I  want  to  do  is  dream  away...

And  wake  up  in  some  fourty  mile  town.
