Talk Of The Town – English Lyrics

• By: Jack Johnson

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I wanna be where the talk of the town

Is about last night when the sun went down

Yeah, and the trees all dance

And the warm wind blows in that same old sound

And the water below gives a gift to the sky

And the clouds give back every time they cry

And make the grass grow green beneath my toes

And if the sun comes out, I'll paint a picture all about

The colors I've been dreaming of

The hours just don't seem enough to put it all together

Maybe it's as strange as it seems

Mm-mmm, mm-mmm

And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me

It's a part of my mind, it begins with a dream

And a feeling I get when I look and I see

That this world is a puzzle, I'll find all of the pieces

And put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it

I'll follow it forever

And always be as strange as it seems

Mm-mmm

Nobody ever told me not to try

Not to try

Oh, let try

Oh, let try

And the water below gives a gift to the sky

And the clouds give back every time they cry

And make the grass grow green beneath my toes

And if the sun comes out, I'll paint a picture all about

The colors I've been dreaming of

The hours just don't seem enough

To put it all together

Always be as strange as it seems

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, I sing
