Tonight Lyrics

It was seven years ago that I last saw your town

New buildings were up and the old torn down

And I was missing the old man who used to sit out on

the street

With music in his eyes and rhythm in his feet



And the house that you were born in

It was crushed by the snow

And the thoughts you used to think

Went out of style some time ago

And I noticed that you slowed your step and sometimes

slurred your speech

And the smile I thought you never knew was only hard to

reach



I thought you'd wait for me until my world stopped

spinning

I never thought you'd leave tonight

I thought you'd wait for me until I started winning

I never thought you'd leave tonight



Well my best friend she got married

My father he lost all his hair

Everyone I know has moved out west

I am so far from there

Too much reconfiguration

Renumbering the stars

I've lost track of yesterday

So tell me where you are



They say it happened quickly

They say you never knew

You just closed your eyes and that was it

The sky went to black from blue

And here I am across the ocean

Stuck on some foreign sea

Having trouble with the notion that you could not wait

for me
