This town, old town
The place I spent my younger years
The house that sheltered me from fear
The only time I ever cried
Was when I could not play
This girl, my girl
We met when I was just a lad
Unhappiness we never had
The only time that I was sad
Was when I could not stay
I went away from her to seek my fame
And now that I found it well it's not the same
This town, old town
His face has washed upon the shore
And here I stand beside your door
But you are gone forevermore
Alone me and the sea
I went away from her to seek my fame
And now that I found it well it's not the same
This town, this old town
His face has washed upon the shore
And here I stand beside your door
And I will stay forevermore
Alone me and the sea
Alone me and the sea...
The place I spent my younger years
The house that sheltered me from fear
The only time I ever cried
Was when I could not play
This girl, my girl
We met when I was just a lad
Unhappiness we never had
The only time that I was sad
Was when I could not stay
I went away from her to seek my fame
And now that I found it well it's not the same
This town, old town
His face has washed upon the shore
And here I stand beside your door
But you are gone forevermore
Alone me and the sea
I went away from her to seek my fame
And now that I found it well it's not the same
This town, this old town
His face has washed upon the shore
And here I stand beside your door
And I will stay forevermore
Alone me and the sea
Alone me and the sea...
