Lyrics to Camden, MaineDraw the shutters, close the light.Keep quiet as the moon, stay out of sight. There's a man at the door, he's calling her name, This isn't a joke. This isn't a game. O Mother you're gone now we try to behave, We pretend in church we can't hear what they say. But when the sun goes down this town is changed And men with drink come by calling your name. Sisters, sisters, stay out of the light. I know this man I know his plight. He stays up with Mother drinking whiskey, He snuck into my room once and kissed me. Mother, mother, your daughters are alone. Oh mother, mother when will you come home? It's a sweet little town on the cost of Maine, But we're too young to be alone this way. - Kevin Peckham, copyright 2010 |
