Population 81

There used to be a sign saying welcome to Population 82 Just a little town with no line streets Where I loved you and you loved me But there ain't been a day of sun Since this town has become Population 81 We used to lay beside the lake And talk about the plans we'd make We'd build a house by that old oak tree Make it population 83 Now those dreams have turned to dust Since this town has become Population 81 (chorus 1) I threw a penny in the wishing well And I made a wish that I wished you well And I watched it sink away from me Away from me Now when I go down to the corner store Where the old men sit out on the porch I hear what they don't say to me But they'll talk about it when I leave Cause they know whats done is done And that this town has become Population 81 (chorus 2) I took a walk out on the bridge And I dropped that diamond off the edge And I watched it sink away from me Away from me Away from me There used to be a sign saying welcome to Population 82 Just a little town with no line streets Where I loved you and you loved me...
