Abandoned

There's peace in the valley
There's nobody here
Been this way
For many a year
I cross the bridge
Hear birds sing
And the hilltop invites
No one to nothing

Abandoned
Out of mind
Stuck in their ways
Those left behind
Abandoned
For all to reclaim
Had its time, never again

I'm growing old
I try to keep up
But I lag behind
With a half empty cup
There's a house
Still looks the way
It was abandoned
They took nothing away

Abandoned
Out of mind
Stuck in their ways
Those left behind
Abandoned
For all to reclaim
Had it's time, never again
Abandoned
Out of mind
Stuck in their ways
Those left behind
Abandoned
For all to reclaim
Had its time, never again
Had its time, never again

There's a tin tabernacle
And an old wooden school
Carpenter's workshop
And a shed full of tools
Everywhere I look
All seems to say
Nice of you to call
Now be on your way

Abandoned
Out of mind
Stuck in their ways
Those left behind
Abandoned
For all to reclaim
Had it's time, never again
Abandoned
Out of mind
Stuck in their ways
Those left behind
Abandoned
For all to reclaim
Had its time, never again
Had its time, never again
