Out the window, clouds are lifting
And the day is on the run,
Headed home before the streetlights all come on.
I hope you had as good a time
As I have had today;
I'll see you when
You're in town again.
And the honda's pulling homeward for the evening.
Curt's rubbing polish on some old grey bowling shoes.
I can't believe I took for granted all this breathing
That I have left to do.
They tell me there've been better times,
But I can't remember when.
The shadows crawl across the kitchen wall again.
A place with grass as tall as circus tents.
The machines inside my head have all run cold,
The band's gone home,
The ships come in,
And go out again,
And nothing en
But there was a world before you came.
There was a world that went on spinning all the same.
Cross-eyed and gentle, slow and strong.
And it'll be here long
After you're gone.
I was sitting in a puddle at the edge of the cent'ry,
Reading from a letter that my ancestors sent me
From some old union bar.
It read, "Dear Sir, Madam, or To Whom it Concerns,
Know that the bankers and the beggars taste the same to the worms,
And that's all we know so far."
But there was a world before you came.
There was a world that went on spinning all the same.
Cross-eyed and gentle, slow and strong.
And it'll be here long
After you're gone.
