Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness Crashed and on their way Father, he enjoyed collisions Others walked away A snowflake falls in May And the doors are open now As the bells are ringing out 'Cause the man of the hour Is taking his final bow Good-bye 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 They'll all come around 'Cause the man of the hour Is taking his final bow Good-bye for now And the road, the old man paved The broken seams along the way The rusted signs, left just for me He was guiding me, love, his own way Now the man of the hour Is taking his final bow As the curtain comes down I feel that this is just Good-bye for now
