"Lonesome Town" lyrics

Tell me you're listening
Can you hear me now
Been calling out for days
For you come around
Have I lost my devotion
Feel it fading out
Lookin' for direction
Cause I have my doubts

Yesterday was nothing but a memory
Say a prayer
To set me free

Sing mother mercy
Lead the way with your sound
Far away from this lonesome town
Please mother mercy
Lift my feet off the ground
Far away from this lonesome town

Been told not to question
But I'm asking why
I can't sit and wonder
While I tow the line
Can't shake this emotion
No matter how hard I try
The wave of this ocean
Are the tears I cry

Yesterday was nothing but a memory
Say a prayer
To set me free

Sing mother mercy
Lead the way with your sound
Far away from this lonesome town
Please mother mercy
Lift my feet off the ground
Far away from this lonesome town

You can see
So light my way
Teach me how
To spread my wings

I'll rise above
You hold my fate
Show me now
Take me away
Take me away

Sing mother mercy
Lead the way with your sound
Far away from this lonesome town
Oh please mother mercy
Lift my feet off the ground
Far away
Far away
Far away
Ooh yeah
Take me away
(Far away from this lonesome town)
(Ooh ooh)
Far away from this lonesome town

Ooh

Take me away
From this lonesome town
