IT HAPPENED IN THIS TOWN

Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet So long little angel, taken so young from the street Now you're gone, all the world can feel the pain Like a light went out somewhere Goodbye little angel, it's so hard to understand What makes somebody do that? What makes that kind of a man? But you're gone and things will never be the same I feel your tears when it rains And though I try I can't explain Where's the sense in it all? We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes Cos we don't wanna see this We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this It's too random to believe it, how could anyone conceive it? It's so sad, but it happened in this town There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation Just the fact that it happened in this town Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet So long little angel, taken so young from the street But now you're gone, and things will never be the same I feel your tears when it rains And though I try I can't explain Where's the sense in it all? We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes Cos we don't wanna see this We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this How could anybody do it? There's no rhyme or reason to it It's so sad, but it happened in this town There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation Just the fact that it happened in this town It really happened in this town It's so sad, but it happened in this town Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet So long little angel, taken so young from the street
