Twilight

from 2012 Demos by Sean Mormelo

/

lyrics

C-G-Am-F, C-G-F-C
She lets down her hair, and takes off her aprin
She strips off her makeup and turns on the TV
It’s just her and the kids now since the army took her husband
Was all she could do just to keep from losing herself

G-G7-F-G, G-G7-F-G7
She buries the hurting as long as she’s working and keeping the heartache at bay
She carries that feeling with no time for healing open wounds won’t go away

C-Dm7-Fmaj7-G7x2
And it’s twilight in this town, twilight in this town
Well it’s twilight in this town, it’s twilight and it used to be morning all day

They Closed down the Saw mill, moved it all to China
Tore it down and built a WalMart that pays ¼ what the mill used to
They boarded up mainstreet and put up a new MacDonalds
She took a job slinging whisky and beer at some redneck bar

She thinks about leaving, the drinking, and the stinkin’ foul whiskey smellin’, smoky air
She keeps on believing the money she’s making is the best she can do anywhere

Chorus

Bb-C-G Bb-Dm7-G7
She gets up every morning at 6 O’clock yawning to get all the kids off to school
She dreams about a better day a man that won’t run away and won’t make her feel like a fool

Chorus
