Town of Vines

I don’t know what they told me when I came here
Something about the hill was green
I don’t know what they told me when I came here
Something that I could not see

But I felt it
Yes I felt it in my heart
I felt it
I felt it in my heart

It was the place where they grew the vines
Grew them from the hill
It was the place that they grew the vines
Until the water went away

You never know how important life can be
How those vines made the life carry on
They came to the place
But they had to stop

Vines on the hillside
Dead as stumps and dogs
Vines on the hillside
Dead and quarter stone

You never know how much you place does need
The green green leaves of home

Here the build the walls of stone
Here the build the walls of stone
Here the build the walls of stone

They call it the town of vines
It what it used to grow
They call it the town of vines
That’s what it used to grow

Green leaves went away
So did the water flow
Green leaves went away
So did the water flow


The town of vines is dead
The town of vines is dead
