A long while ago, but not that far …
Away in your home town
While you were sleeping
In the bar
Where the blind mice played their blues
And the old cane cat
Sat and drank his sorrow
Trading stories
With the one eyed fox
Who never got caught
Remember
We believed we was just misunderstood
How can we help thinking about the times
And how they’ve changed
What happened to the –
We would let our bills go by
Bowl until midnight
I would almost kiss you at 3am
And your batteries were dead
What did we know
About loss and sacrifice and pain
Look at us now
Standing in line
Hoping we make it to see our dreams
I think it’s going to be a lot quicker now
Than we ever did believe
All our dreams turn to sand
In the winds of time
And the world is smaller now
It fits in the palm of her hand
But she never leaves this town
Have you heard her sing tonight?
Her lips are red as wine
Her soul
As deep as the sky
And you’ll ask what the Lord did to let her down
When she breaks your heart just the same
She’s breaking out
The pillars are coming down…
