Charlie was my last lone friend
Glory, glory, glor'
Now Charlie's back in the county pen
Again glory, glor'
And Danny died with the needle inside
His arm glory, glor'
Then blew through my dream to say goodbye
In the sunny town of Dover Plains
The untimely death of Matthew was hard
On us all glory, glor'
On every stage he'd shine like a star
Glory, glory, glor'
And they say the show, it must go on
And on glory, glor'
But how can it now that Matthew's gone
In the sunny town of Dover Plains?
Old farmer John woke with the rising
Sun glory, glor'
In the barn he met with his own shotgun
Glory, glory, glor'
And sweet Sarah's heart stopped for seconds
That blury night glory, glor'
But she's back in rehab and doing alright
In the sunny town of Dover Plains
Something's changed
Around Dover Plains
My heart still remains
In the town where I was raised
Oh oh oh, dee-deet-de-dee
Can you say a prayer for me?
Oh oh oh doo-doot-do-doo
And I'll say one for you
And I hope we meet again in town soon
Glory, glory, glor'
And I hope that time can stitch every wound
In the sunny town of Dover Plains
