First Rate Town

[00:12.16] This is a first rate town

[00:13.48] But all you ever notice

[00:14.82] Are the ways it's stretched too far

[00:17.21] And it has been knocked down

[00:18.80] But some of us are still

[00:19.86] Left here between the scars

[00:22.52] When you look around

[00:23.86] All you ever notice is

[00:25.45] That you can not see the stars

[00:27.05] This is a first rate town, a first rate town you know

[00:32.09] You just can't see very far

[00:43.26] When the last door closed

[00:44.58] You packed your clothes

[00:45.91] And went back to Montreal

[00:48.57] Said it was colder there

[00:49.89] A chill hangs into the air

[00:51.22] It helps you forget it all

[00:53.61] You left and empty bookshelf

[00:56.00] That I did not fill till fall

[00:58.39] This is a first rate town a first rate town you know

[01:03.44] You just can't see it at all

[01:14.59] Well it will fade as all things must

[01:19.65] I loved you but, you didn't love me enough

[01:22.57] Winter comes, the car will rust

[01:30.00] I'll start it up, then always run a little rough

[01:35.31] This is a first rate town

[01:36.38] And all you ever notice

[01:37.70] Are the ways it's stretched too far

[01:40.36] They keep the death rates down

[01:41.69] It's colder than a winter

[01:43.01] Spent in defrosting cars

[01:45.41] We talked a lot of leaving

[01:47.81] Didn't think you'd get that far

[01:50.20] This is a first rate town a first rate town you know

[01:55.25] You just can't see very far
