"A Fire In New Town"

(written by Frank Carillo and Annie Golden and appears on the Golden-Carillo album of the same name on SilenZ Records)

There's a fire in new town
A fire in new town
The new stores and buildings
and car park are all burning down
You can't hide the scars
with a fancy new face
Or bury your sins in the ground

Nothing is easy
Life gets so hard
But why make it harder by
spreading your love all around
You can't hide the scars with a
smile on your face
Or bury your sins in the ground

I believe in a silver lining
And I dream of that pot of gold
It encircles the clouds
I see it shining
It comes with a rainbow I'm told
After raining your tears

We're in this together
we all stand alone
Hope is the measure to show us
how much we have grown
Inherit the wind where the
answers don't blow
So we search for a dream of our own

Actually, if you listen to the Golden-Carillo studio version and follow the lyrics this is one incredible song. And yes, Annie's voice remains untouched. The duo of Golden-Carillo had some wonderful tracks but "A Fire In New Town" was on a plane of its own -- marvelous.
