lyrics

Behind a tree whose leaves don't fall
Next to a bench uncovered
The fading door still opens wide
The bar still serves to midnight
You know I wonder, I wonder how he saw it then
Did he drink with a lover?

More than 40 years it stands
More than 40 years

The trick of light still hides it well
The element disguised it
It only shines in afternoon
You wouldn't want to spend it
You know I wonder, I wonder if he saw it then
Was he the one to hide it?

More than 40 years ago

See it -- how it's stayed the same
Yet my eyes have altered it
Knowing not where it had traveled
Or the part it played
See how it must never change
But my eyes will alter it
Still there's this moment to steal
To see it
feel it
try it
find it

More than 40 years it lies
More than 40 years

Through 20 cities and 16 towns
It carries me to the ocean
It doesn't stop and it won't slow down
It doesn't ask any questions
You know I wonder, I wonder how he saw it then
Did he ride to the ocean?

More than 40 years ago

You know I love you. I gotta say that I feel a bit shunned by not buying the CD or vinyl. I just don’t have space anymore. A months wait for 2 mins. Gahhhh. Torture! I don’t think this model works too well. But I might learn a lesson from all this. Maybe you are teaching me something. Hmmmm. What’s been heard is saucy. Me likes. Eric Kearns
