lyrics

16. One More Song

We used to spend our days
Thinkin’ of the ways
That we could leave this town behind.
No sooner than we do,
We end up feelin’ blue,
For the troubles that we leave here are troubles still in mind,

And we all want out,
That’s what it’s all about,
But you never do leave home, I find:
You might walk a lonely road,
You might bear a heavy load,
But your home is just a melody that time cannot erode,

So play me one more song
To last the whole year long,
And I’ll see you when the summer rain comes calling,
When the muggy weekend breeze
Spins samaras from the trees
And old friends spin their stories set to melodies like these.
Child, don’t you cry,
And don’t you say goodbye:
You never find a way to get a way to get away.
We’re never really gone;
We may say we’re moving on,
But we’ll be rained on before long on the same rainy day,
We’ll be rained on soon on some same rainy day.
