East Of Melissa Track

[color=#ffffff;]East of Melissa - By The Keepers Of Still Town Lyrics By-Jimmy Lloyd Music, Arrangement, Recording, and Performance By - Daniel Ghent That night you left me for the third time Thunder crashed above our porch In the anger of my tirade I swore there wouldn't be a fourth I made bets based on your promise Now real money's on the line And the fight you said was fixed is not But you say it'll somehow still be fine When I left you in the delta with your luggage and your luck The pavement burned like fireworks in the wreckage of a truck Your hair blew in the summer wind, flames glowed behind your back You looked like an apparition getting ready to attack It was written in the moon Like it was written in the stars Like the number to call for a good time That was carved in to the bar I should've listened to that feeling I should've listened to that voice Sometimes the things that we decide Are really not a choice When I arrived in the morning Your sister met me on the lawn And warned me of the consequence And asked how it all went wrong Unforseen and unforetold and yeah I knew her ways But "The chickens coming home to roost" Was all that I could say The pounding of the ocean The slamming of the tide The departure of her troubled soul Into the great divide It was written in the moon Like it was written in the stars Like the number to call for a good time That was carved in to the bar I should've listened to that feeling I should've listened to that voice Sometimes the things that we decide Are really not a choice[/color]
