tidal waves don't beg forgiveness crash then on their way father he enjoyed collisions others walked away the snowflake falls in may and the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out cuz the man of the hour has taken his final bow goodbye for now nature has its own religion gospel from the land father ruled by long division young men they pretend old men comprehend and the sky breaks at dawn shedding light upon this town we all come 'round cuz the man of the hour has taken his final bow goodbye for now and the road the old men paved the broken seams along the way the rusted signs they're just for me he was guiding me love his own way now the man of the hour has taken his final bow as the curtain comes down i feel that this is just goodbye for now
