Uniontown Lyrics

i have feared for this day in my life
like fire fears the rain
behind the veil my sweet blue sky
reveals the dark refrain
i run down these broken roads
searching for some sacred sign
past your house they say you've gone
oh to see you one more time
don't go down to uniontown
don't leave out of here alone
no one cares if you live or die
when you're out there on your own
don't you let deception
tear your sweet soul down
how will i protect you love
way down in uniontown
i remember years ago
i did not know your name
i held for you the open door
with a torch and a timid flame

i watched lovers rise and fade
just to taint your tender heart
if love would change your world today
i could tear this place apart
no life is lived without regret
or consolation's cry
you're the one i won't forget
until the day i die

i will live forever love
what a tragic cruel cliche'
i fear it won't be near enough
as you slowly fade away
