Lyrics
Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was seven years ago that I last saw your town
New buildings were up and the old torn down
And I was missing the old man who used to sit out on the street
With music in his eyes and rhythm in his feet
And the house that you were born in
It was crushed by the snow
And the thoughts you used to think
Went out of style some time ago
And I noticed that you slowed your step and sometimes slurred your speech
And the smile I thought you never knew was only hard to reach
I thought you'd wait for me until my world stopped spinning
I never thought you'd leave tonight
I thought you'd wait for me until I started winning
I never thought you'd leave tonight
Well my best friend she got married
My father he lost all his hair
Everyone I know has moved out west
I am so far from there
Too much reconfiguration
Renumbering the stars
I've lost track of yesterday
So tell me where you are
They say it happened quickly
They say you never knew
You just closed your eyes and that was it
The sky went to black from blue
And here I am across the ocean
Stuck on some foreign sea
Having trouble with the notion that you could not wait for me
