lyrics
The sun’s hanging low in the west
The new moon has shaken off its crest
The masthead stands empty against the sky
Been keeping the world at bay
Just another lonely castaway
Having one more, trying to hold on to the night
Found some friends to get me through
Looking for the lie that best tells the truth
Felt like the world stopped spinning for a time
May time bind us tight
We used to sing by firelight
Where the earth drained up into the sky
Sharing songs and secrets with the night
Now we’re all so far apart
Some through distance, and some at heart
As the past and present collide
May time bind us tight
You see, Pumps moved South, and Kramms went West
Bauman joined The Church, but Twinkie left
Katie’s a sailor now—both she and Starr got kids
Nick’s up next, but Larry split
Chimney’s getting re-married soon
And then there’s me and you
Still doing what I’ve always done
Always hanging on for far too long
Trying to fit my whole life into a song
The sky is closing down
As the waters widen between us now
I’m sorry; but I gotta be homeward bound
Some friendships have no end
They go out with the tide and come back again
With no parting words or backward glance
The new moon has shaken off its crest
The masthead stands empty against the sky
Been keeping the world at bay
Just another lonely castaway
Having one more, trying to hold on to the night
Found some friends to get me through
Looking for the lie that best tells the truth
Felt like the world stopped spinning for a time
May time bind us tight
We used to sing by firelight
Where the earth drained up into the sky
Sharing songs and secrets with the night
Now we’re all so far apart
Some through distance, and some at heart
As the past and present collide
May time bind us tight
You see, Pumps moved South, and Kramms went West
Bauman joined The Church, but Twinkie left
Katie’s a sailor now—both she and Starr got kids
Nick’s up next, but Larry split
Chimney’s getting re-married soon
And then there’s me and you
Still doing what I’ve always done
Always hanging on for far too long
Trying to fit my whole life into a song
The sky is closing down
As the waters widen between us now
I’m sorry; but I gotta be homeward bound
Some friendships have no end
They go out with the tide and come back again
With no parting words or backward glance
