[00:22.42]Walked her way around a hill [00:28.52]With the sun sinking [00:29.66]Down into the snow. [00:33.43]All the whitecaps of the waves [00:40.14]Slap like last hand-claps, [00:46.47]And the dark water dies in a crash, [00:54.21]Is sucked back with a moan. [00:58.44]The smoke on the coast [01:02.40]Oh, piled fathers, [01:07.06]Soft, sighing daughters, [01:11.03]Where does it go? [01:20.55]It's a dream, now, I'll describe [01:26.14]Let your mind drift on down, like so, [01:33.11]To when the world was young. [01:37.45]A big sky, blue of a dead bachelor's tongue. [01:41.47]A new bloom on the rose. [01:44.19]So some line someone told says [01:48.77]Even light can get old. [01:51.41]Oh, slobbering lovers, [01:55.53]Drink-clinking brothers, [01:59.37]They don't have to tell us, because we know. [02:17.75]What a way down. [02:22.38]What a ride. [02:23.91]What a slide spin-around. [02:25.93]What a life to have known. [02:31.03]What a time, and how I was singing out [02:36.96]In a crowd of the thousand [02:39.05]Most frightening faces I've known [02:43.89]When the lighthouse [02:47.58]Lending us sight finally went out, [02:52.19]What a fright we felt [02:56.18]In that night, friends [03:00.66]Just shout it out, [03:04.44]All the whys and don't knows, [03:08.65]All the cries in our throats, [03:13.52]And how right we felt, [03:21.73]With our eyes tightly closed, [03:25.84]Holding something we broke [03:29.95]And then, whimpering sisters, [03:34.15]Sobbing well wishers, [03:37.49]Well it's over. [03:40.57]Just let my hand go.
