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? |
