| Today the grass is like another green | |
| Straight from heaven's garden, like you've never seen | |
| At first glance it's like this place is on fire | |
| But it's just time for this dew to expire | |
| Most of the days I'm down near the sea | |
| People say they're not seeing me | |
| I miss them as much as they miss me | |
| I miss them just like they miss me | |
| Now yesterday I think he might have called | |
| To say "Hey," or just to get us all | |
| To get together on a Saturday | |
| To take some time come down your way | |
| Now, he lives over on the north Side | |
| He can walk, doesn't need a ride | |
| I wouldn't pick him up anyway | |
| It's not not my town, I don't know the way | |
| I see him out my window | |
| On a very different street | |
| Where leaves fall up in the spring time | |
| And the sun sets in the east | |
| I'm always late whem I'm visiting | |
| I can't remember where the station is | |
| What time will you be coming in? | |
| What time will you be coming in? | |
| I wish my town had an airport | |
| In 15 minutes we'd be at my door | |
| Use the time for a walk and some wine | |
| But these days I'm trying not to think about time | |
| I see him out my window | |
| On a very different street | |
| Where leaves fall up in the spring time | |
| And the sun sets in the east | |
| We hang out in the garden | |
| Away from phone calls, strip malls, I don't want to leave you behind | |
| It's just that grayed-out horizon | |
| Hey, don't you think it's time? |
