Ghost Town
McCall C.W. Lyrics

The dance hall is silent and empty
The once lively place where people would come and have fun has become still and vacant now.

The banjos don't play anymore
The musical instruments that used to fill the air with melodies have gone silent.

The music is only a mem'ry
The tunes that once entertained everyone live only in people's memories now.

And the dancing is dust on the floor
The place that used to bustle with life, with people dancing their hearts out, now lies covered with dust and untouched for some time.

Wild flowers cover the ground now
The untamed aprons of the hall that were once trampled and disheveled every night are now overgrown with wildflowers.

The timbers are streaking with gray
The wooden planks that had once been the foundation of the hall are showing signs of decay and age as they are no longer maintained.

The palace is tumbling down now
The once glorious place is now on the brink of demolition and breaking apart.

And the dancers have all gone away
The people who once came to this dance hall and made it alive and vibrant have all gone away now, leaving the place to die.

Once there was singing
The people who used to come here would sing along with the music happily.

And once there was song
There was once music that would bring so much joy to the people that danced and sang to it.

And once there was silver and gold (silver and gold)
There was once so much money in this place that was dedicated to entertaining people, both rich and poor.

The tombstones are weathered and broken
The graves that now surround this place are affected by time as well and even these are breaking apart.

But the last signs of life are still here
Even if everything else is dead around, the life still remains evident in and around this place.

The labors of love have been stolen
The legacy and hard work seem to have been stolen by time and nature.

But the gold was the last souvenir
All that remains is the golden memory of once what was a vibrant place and now just a relic of the past.

Once there was laughter
The people who visited this place laughed and enjoyed themselves without any worries.

And once there was life
It was once a place where people would gather and bring life to its very foundation with their lively nature.

And once there was silver and gold (silver and gold)
There was once money here in abundance that was once spent to keep this place alive and thriving.

The dance hall is silent and empty
The same emotional emptiness is conveyed again, representing the downfall of the once happy and lively place.
