lyrics

Dear old friend, it’s been too long and how I’d like to see you again.

Today the Susquehanna lays flat; that old bridge has been gone for over a century. The stone column still stands; it holds lady liberty proud and free. In passing, I think of Septembers. You know I can flex my memory just like a muscle. We use to drink beer in basements and shoot pool back on the other side of those mountains.

And they chopped down our favorite tree, the one that hung over the creek so peacefully. We carved our youth into the bark, with our initials surrounded by a crooked heart. And just like that it’s gone; I think of all those little things I thought would never change and how they’re stacked upside some stranger’s house; he burns them every now and then to keep the mood just right.

Old friend where did you hide; old friend are you even listening. I hope you took the sun by the reigns, and let go when you couldn’t tell which way leads home.

Everything’s as simple as it seems; the monkey wrench isn’t even close to the gears. The world isn’t spinning fast enough and that horse track out in space isn’t wide enough, so the days are long and the years are short. Old friend can you tell me what else is new? The sun burns bright and the moon is just a piece of dirt still jealous of the earth. The sun burns bright and the moon is just a piece of dirt still jealous of our earth.
