There were yellow ribbons on every tree,
And yellow orchids growing from the street
Postcards and letters swam to the shore,
Locket and treasures on the river floor, yeah

We owe the streets of this small town,
You live so quietly and us we speak so loud
We owe the streets of this small town,
You live so quietly and us we speak so loud
We speak so loud

There were yellow ribbons on every tree,
And yellow orchids growing from the street
Postcards and letters swam to the shore,
And all the birds were singing ode's, singing ode's Oh no, oh no

We owe the streets of this small town,
You live so quietly and us we speak so loud
We owe the streets of this small town,
You live so quietly and us we speak so loud
We speak so loud
