Almira Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's been ages since you brought us here

On the long way through the fields

To Grandma's farm before it sold

And that's been eighteen years



The old hotel closed up six months ago

And I'm wondering what you'd say

If you were here beside me

Answer my questions in the wake



[Chorus]

Oh, like how did it feel to leave Almira?

And how did you know your time was done?

Did you know that in the end it'd be Almira

Dying old, reminding me of you again?



[Verse 2]

Well I found your graduation year

Painted on a barn

Around the corner from your high school

In the center of the town



And I imagined you there watching them

Put your mark upon the ground

Said you were glad I couldn't know ya then

Too the same to get along



[Chorus]

Oh, but how did it feel to leave Almira?

And how did you know your time was done?

Did you know that in the end it'd be Almira

Dying old, reminding me of you again?



[Outro]

I saved all your voicemails

After you were gone

Asking me to call you back

From the great beyond
