lyrics

Dear Friend,
You were much older then, but I’m far older now
I see your hats haven’t changed, nor your hair, nor your style
Your voice still aches, heart still breaks in a smile
Was leaving so worth while?

You’re still in your hometown
Where your first love and second and fourth wouldn’t wait around
I know I should have stayed, but birds weren’t made for ground
Maybe it’s better this way, maybe I was holding you down
I wasn’t sorry then, I’m sorry now

Maybe I could try to find better words
Come what may, I’ve said it before
I aught the try, but I’ll fail. I’m sure the ship has sailed
So I’ll tip my hat goodnight

Goodnight
Goodnight

Dear Friend,
You got my letter, you ain’t much better you said
Got the same damn job, the same damn milk and bread
I forgot my Demons lurking at the edge of my bed
I’m older and tired of regret

I put away my guitar
I don’t even sing, not even Blowin’ In The Wind no more
I thought I tried my best… I tried hard to ignore
It’s my dreams you’re living, may as well be a prison’ I’m in
Dear friend, don’t write me no more

Maybe I could try to find better words
Come what may, I’ve said it before
I aught the try, but I’ll fail. I’m sure the ship has sailed
So I’ll tip my hat goodnight

Goodnight
Goodnight
