God of warm words
and good things
God of change, change, rusty rails and sidings
God of the saints,
Nearly departed
Come down and love the living
Before they go, tell us a joke
My girl going to town
She dresses down
Still wears that tiny ring
My girl going to town
Takes the late train
"it won't rain" she says

God of good times
Dry happy sunshine days
God of sandcastles
Holidays and motor cars
You take your days here and there
"how long till we get there?"
Fast asleep after tears,
that gently change the colour of your brown skin
My girl going to town
Spends the summer days alone
Says the summer nights are warm
My girl going to town
Is it her I'm worried for?
Is it me again?
Ooh just when I'm thinking, I'm giving you the words
See the rain on the church and it makes me shiver
Ooh just when I'm sighing, I'm scared of thinking
for the rain on the roof drowns out the old town bell
All I have is a smell

My girl going to town
Pray hard now to the God of violence
The God of TV
The God that understands the un-understandable
The God of ecstasy
Days worth forgetting
She writes her blessing
You send me your love, no love only memory
of My Girl going to town
She won't be coming back
My girl going to town
When all the other girls
are coming home
