Kevin Welch - Marysville текст песни

I am a stranger wherever I go

But I see what I see and I know what I know

The winds of heaven gonna do what they will

They just blew away pretty little Marysville



The people round here did the best they could

They either got caught runnin' or they died where they stood

By the time they saw it coming up over these hills

It was too late for getting out of Marysville



Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives


The fire took one out of every five

Their spirits hover all around us still

Like smoke above the rubble of Marysville



There's only one measure of a woman and man

When troubles all around how tall do you stand

What the devil burns down we will all rebuild

Rise up rise up Marysville



I am a stranger wherever I go

But I see what I see, and I know what I know.
