Oceans Away

I hung out with the old folks, in the hope that I'd get wiseI was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divideHung on every recollection, in the theater of their eyesPicking up on this and that, in the few that still surviveCall em upDust em offLet em shineThe ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behindThose that flew, those that fellThe ones that had to stayBeneath a little wooden crossOceans awayThey bend like trees in winter, these shuffling old gray lionsThough snow white stars still gatherlike the belt around OrionJust a touch of faded lightning, of the powerful designOf the generation gathered, for maybe the last timeCall em upDust em offLet em shineThe ones who hold onto the the onesthey had to leave behindThose that flew, those that fellThe ones that had to stayBeneath a little wooden crossOceans awayOceans away where the green grasssways and the cool wind blows across theshadow of their gravesShoulder to shoulder, back in the daysleeping bones to rest in EarthOceans awayOceans awayCall em upDust em offLet em shineThe ones who hold onto the the onesthey had to leave behindThose that flew, those that fellThe ones that had to stayBeneath a little wooden crossOceans away
