I finished writing this song in the summer
Now I'm watching the snow flakes fall
As the years go by I wonder if I
Really like it here at all
I woke this morning in a strange town
The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now
I guess I'll keep on going till they find me out
With love from Halcyon
verse 2
And I'm glad I stayed out drinking
Put some medicine in my mind
To distract me from this grain of sand
In the middle of space and of time
This morning my head is losing the war
It's cold outside as I walk out the door
And I get the feeling this has happened before
With love from Halcyon
And I can feel myself disappearing
In the early morning sun
And I fade with the road I'm walking on
With love from Halcyon
verse 3
As the morning breaks over Southampton
I'm wondering how long and how far
Still thinking about that old friend
As the waitress trips on my guitar
See he stopped singing songs and he moved away
Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake bay
I can picture him now singing "Lowlands away"
With love from Halcyon
I remember early evening
First time summer showed her face
We sat outside with a GB and wine
Talking about the good old days
When we woke up in Paris all covered in dust
And the man on the boat pulled a knife on us
If time is money then money isn't much
With love from Halcyon
And I can feel us disappearing
In the early morning sun
For we were just dead men walking
With love from Halcyon
Well many years gone I've been travelling on
Searching across this land
Now I don't know what I've been looking for yet
Hope someday I'll understand
I'm just a copy of a copy my own version of time,
I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine
But we still see the same sunsets and walk the same lines
With love from Halcyon
Started writing this song in the winter,
Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall
Tell me how can the difference between hours and years
Feel so endless and yet so small
I left that house about 4 this morning
And I got a feeling they'll carry on going
Till the cigarettes freeze over and the whisky stops flowing
They'll be singing "Lowlands away"
And if Halcyon is the days gone by
And she is the one that I love
And if now is the place that I'm supposed to be
Then it isn't long enough
For someday soon I'll be a photograph
Underneath my grandson's bed
But I heard there's
A universe somewhere
WHere this song
Wasn't written
Yet
So if you feel yourself disappearing
In the early morning sun
Just smile and keep on walking
With love from Halcyon
With love from Halzephron
