Verse 1: second time he spoke about no final goodbyes
head to church on another Sunday
no clouds in the wintertime
upcountry is where you'll find me
pass the goats and the lavender fields
forgetting lyrics, forgetting faces
one last go around on the phonograph
no memories, leaving behind this warm climate town
Chorus: and I'll have salad for breakfast sweet tea if you have it
lie on my surfboard until we see each other again
(the) hot-air balloon ride you saved me
convertible ride watching the purple orange skies
Verse 2: driving across state lines on three hours of sleep
parish to perish sunny side mail-order bride
nothing better than a low country boil in the Summertime
concert in the desert he claims only for Dad's
hammock we saw overlooking the big ocean
heading up yonder skiing from bear to bare
a last thank you before the bells toll
Chorus
Break: Metke*, yes. Metke, always
seen a rainbow that made you cry
trust the stardust trust the long haul home
Chorus
*Can be substituted for Gretzky or Brady. Or, anything really.
