Welcome To Ray - Kate Campbell

What makes a town they say

Is it the people

Is it the place

Some things last

Some things fade

Some things you don’t notice

?Til they’re gone

If you notice them at all

It only took one day

To lose the town of Ray

Bulldozed into clay

The town of Ray

What makes a home they say

Roof overhead

To keep out

All the rain

And everyone feels safe

When it’s bitter

And it’s cold

Home is where you want to go

It only took one day

To lose the town of Ray

Bulldozed into clay

The town of Ray

Trailers line the lane

Mobile homes that came to stay

Now the welcome sign

Is all that’s left of Ray

What really happened

Who can say

Did they up and leave

Or slowly drift away

I don’t know why

I want to know these things

I just know

I like the name
