Lyrics

Tarrytown

Verse 1:

An old daydream through time and space
I followed my thoughts to a distant place
Where the past was hard, the past was cold
And my feet were tired; my hands were numb

Verse 2:

So I lit a fire and slept right
On the frozen ground in the cold moonlight
And I woke when the sun hit my face
Then I tied my boots and left that place

Chorus:

I drove away from Tarrytown
Took all my old pictures down
Without a tear and without a sound
I drove away from Tarrytown

Verse 3:

The snow was light on the interstate
And I saw skaters glide on the frozen lake
And I wondered how such a pretty sight
Could break your heart and make you cry

Chorus:

I drove away from Tarrytown
Took all my old pictures down
Without a tear and without a sound
I drove away from Tarrytown

Bridge:

Well I escaped late one night
Saw a thousand headlights on the other side
Just heading down that other track
Lord, I looked up but I never looked back

Chorus:

I drove away from Tarrytown
Took all my old pictures down
Without a tear and without a sound
I drove away from Tarrytown
