Goodbye July for autumn tones
By the hum of sticks and stones
I know you have an answering machine
But I'll leave you messages on loose leaf sheets
Of paper at the start of the century
So you'll know what you meant to me
It must be hard for ceiling and floors
Catching colds in grocery stores
The hour's late, the hands have turned
Seconds count minutes while time is burned
The sky hangs low, alarm clock sings
Means to an end, the end of me
Straight ahead and never stray
It's the thoughts that broke the way
The constellations overheard
But I'll remember things like they were
So
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
In our final hours of deepest despair
We always ask for some angel to care
And all I see, when you can't forget me
You wanna ask for some dead end street
Listen in silence intently
Shadows swallow up the sea
Last gasp for walls that breath
Carpet dances under my feet
Straight ahead and never stray
It's the thoughts that broke the way
The constellations overheard
But I'll remember things like they were
It's been
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
