Lyrics:

Years ago when we recorded this song it was a great Iris DeMent song
Newfoundland was struggling
It was looking like this song was gonna come very true
But not now
The cream of the crop
And you know the sun's setting fast
Just like they say nothing good ever lasts
Go on now and kiss them goodbye
Hold on to your lovers your heart's bound to die
Go on now and say goodbye to our town
To our town
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town
On our town goodnight
On the street aside the red neon light
Swear I met my baby on a hot summer night
She was a tender and I ordered a beer
It's been 30 years and I'm still living here
Don't you know the sun's setting fast
Just like they say nothing good ever last
Go on now and kiss them goodbye
Hold on to your lover your heart's bound to die
Go on now and say goodbye to our town
To our town
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town
On our town goodnight
Swear I had my children and I had my first kiss
Go down Main Street on a cold morning mist
Over there is where I bought my first car
It turned over once and it didn't go far
I can see the sun's setting fast
Just like they say nothing good ever last
Go on now and kiss them goodbye
Hold on to your lover your heart's bound to die
Go on now and say goodbye to our town
To our town
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town
On our town goodnight
I buried my mama and I buried my pa
They sleep up the street by a pretty big wall
I'm bringing them flowers about every day
I just gotta cry when I think what they would say
They can see the sun's setting fast
Just like they say nothing good ever last
Go on now and kiss them goodbye
Hold on to your lover your heart's bound to die
Go on now and say goodbye to our town
To our town
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town
On our town goodnight
I sit on the porch and watch the mosquitoes fly
Can't see too well I got tears in my eye
Leaving tomorrow and I don't wanna go
I love you my town you always live in my soul
Can't you see the sun's setting fast
Just like they say nothing good ever last
Go on now and kiss them goodbye
Hold on to your lover your heart's bound to die
Go on now and say goodbye to my town
To my town
Can't you see the sun's setting down on my town
On my town goodnight
Goodnight
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town
On our town
Come on
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town
On our town
Some beautiful singing
What lovely audience
Wicked
