about

While no doubt it was real to me at the time, I have to chuckle wondering what the hell I thought I knew about this subject ten years ago. Oh, well.

lyrics

Well, it's been a long time since I've felt young
I don’t know where these feelings are coming from
It's just there're too many ghosts and grumpy old saints
They’re keeping me up at night lining out their complaints
While the devil and temptation are nowhere to be found
No, they've gone down to the station and hopped the last train out of town 


Well, it's been years since I've had anything to say
I’ve just got a mouth full of worries come the end of the day
Cause there's been nothing but blues skies since the clouds have blown away and the mysteries I once stood for all went and took a great big leap of faith.
Yeah, they paid off their debts to the ones that they had owed
Sold what was left and now there standing by the side of the road 


Oh, it's been too long since I've laid down and cried
These dried up rivers must have muddied my eyes
‘Cause I just never even noticed as my sorrow slipped away
Yeah, it just stepped out into the night to become another a memory
But, now the echoes of laughter ring like banshees before dawn
And, I'm left wondering if my soul's already gone

Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like this
Yeah, mine are steady careful hand's not knocked up crazy fists
And, I've tempered my impatient tongue, assured my nervous heart
I've even kicked out all the drunken dreams that used to gather round in my back yard
Yeah, I don’t know where these feelings are coming from
But, it’s been a long time since I've felt young
