lyrics

Last time I was here-
changing the subject, 
“Just look at the lawn” you said,
“It shouldn’t be so green in December, 
do you think we should worry?”

It’s been a long time
since we argued and
that argument ended
You walk in and out of pain
like a tide

How did you want me to look
even older?
even older?
how did you want me to look?
even older even older
don’t tell me where
you’ve been
Ok

Of course I’ll visit when I can
-Of course you’ll visit
when you can-
Of course I’ll visit when I can
of course I’ll visit
when I can

I’m not making a fuss
I’m not making a fuss
Most of this isn’t even
a secret

Impossible questions, like:

How can you still talk
to them?
How can you still talk
to them
when that long shadow 
stretches from
their little house
all the way to the top
of your mountain?

But of course you’ll visit 
when you can of course
you’ll visit
when you can…

And when I said justice
it just isn’t what 
I meant at all

I dare not speak for you,
but I look forward to

remembering him as a bad man,

and that’s it
