about

I think this is the only song we have (so far!) with a recitation in it! Brad & Craig on twin lead vocals. Ned Henson on lead guitar.

lyrics

There's been a lot of ways you've let me down before
Losing my salad days on shows you wouldn't explore
Now there's a sadness creeping in
It feels like this is the end

Everybody say, a man came by today
With a better plan for taking you away
Wish I had my story down
When the sound of his crown cuts through
I really don't believe it's true

Outside my window I can see a street of gold
I should be walking there but I might have grown too old
Nowhere on earth I'd rather be
But time's no guarantee

Everybody say, a man came by today
With a better plan for taking you away
Wish I had my story down
When the sound of his crown cuts through
I really don't believe it's true

I feel the weather turn and the winter coming on
If there's a fire to burn then it won't be burning long
Now as you turn the key to go
You won't be back, I know...
