Tonight

<p>It was seven years ago that I last saw your town New buildings were up and the old torn down And I was missing the old man who used to sit out on the street With music in his eyes and rhythm in his feet</p><p>And the house that you were born in It was crushed by the snow And the thoughts you used to think Went out of style some time ago And I noticed that you slowed your step and sometimes slurred your speech And the smile I thought you never knew was only hard to reach</p><p>I thought you'd wait for me until my world stopped spinning I never thought you'd leave tonight I thought you'd wait for me until I started winning I never thought you'd leave tonight</p><p>Well my best friend she got married My father he lost all his hair Everyone I know has moved out west I am so far from there Too much reconfiguration Renumbering the stars I've lost track of yesterday So tell me where you are</p><p>They say it happened quickly They say you never knew You just closed your eyes and that was it The sky went to black from blue And here I am across the ocean Stuck on some foreign sea Having trouble with the notion that you could not wait for me</p>
