[Verse 1]
It's so quiet in the ruins
Walking though the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet
I see smoke for miles around
Oh, it's enough to make you weep
All that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday
Dogs chasing and the children played

[Pre-Chorus]
Old man with his head down
Can't see nothing more around, no
But he remembers how it used to be
Back in the old days

[Chorus]
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face
Come peeping through
Having tea in the afternoon, now
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again

[Verse 2]
Ah, but it's all changed
Winter turned on a man
Came down one day
When no one was looking
And it stole away the land
People running scared, losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand
Buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody helping no one else
