Death on Whitley

A death on Whitley shadows fall

The streets are quiet no one calls

Curtains twitch but lips stay tight

Henderson Tennessee fades into the night

Footsteps echo down the lane

Whispers vanish like the rain

A lone dog howls a mournful sound

No answers here no truth is found

In the ghost town no one speaks

The air is heavy secrets leak

Eyes look down hearts beat slow

In Henderson Tennessee the silence grows

A broken streetlight flickers dim

The walls hold stories locked within

Every shadow hides a tale

But every soul here’s learned to bail

The past it lingers cold and stark

In alleyways where it leaves its mark

No one dares to light the fuse

In Henderson Tennessee you always lose

In the ghost town no one speaks

The air is heavy secrets leak

Eyes look down hearts beat slow

In Henderson Tennessee the silence grows
