lyrics

Took a car and a train and a jet plane
Played a part broke a heart took a new name
Now I’m trying to fit inside a new frame

Took some hope from the note that you wrote me
Had a vision or a sign or a daydream
I could feel your pulling on my heartstrings

New in town, everybody sees the shoes I’m wearing
New in town, everybody sees my shine I swear it
It's a mystery how I came to be
Just another part of your scenery

Dropped a dime trying to find a selection
You know I wouldn’t mind some affection
Now I’m staying and I’m praying for direction

Felt the call of a song from the window
Wish I knew which way the wind would blow
I want you to be the one to have and hold

New in town everybody hears the blues I’m playing
New in town everybody reads my sign I swear it
It's a mystery how I came to be
Just another part of your scenery

Felt the calm of a warm summer evening
By the ocean under starlight dreaming
Tried to guess all the things you’ve been feeling

Felt so cold sell my soul for some sunshine
Now I’m walking and I’m talking such a fine line
For the second or the third or the fourth time

New in town everybody sees the cross I’m bearing
New in town everybody reads my sign I swear it
It's a mystery how I came to be
Just another part of your scenery

New in town everybody sees my shine I swear it
