The Town & Miss Lorraine Songtext
von Calexico

I found a book in a washed up ship
Reading the notes the captain staged
Inside this suit of dust I wait
As the waves carry me
Back to shore


My neighbor Miss Lorraine commands
The town′s attention when she wants
She has a way of making everyone she meets
Get lost and lone
With no direction home

There's a bad accident on the interstate
A snake of avenging our reaches out

The fire inside my soul has nearly flickered out
So I order another round

Sliding into the sea
It′s in a season in Rome
Watching Miss Lorraine
Smoking alone with me
