You took your brownie hawk eye
And pointed it up at the sky
You just let the shutter fly
All of your friends still wonder why
But you were never good with a goodbye
You just turned your back and let it slide
I try to remember the words I once heard
You spoke them with courage
You never deserved
All of your friends still wonder why
All the hurt they let you carry
If you were the first
For sure you're the first to be buried
The stars went wheeling across the sky
Silhouetted the tops of the bending pines
Summer was high
We were storming inside
The morning glories
Bloomed by moonlight
You kept that picture in your mind
Cause of all the smoke in our eyes
A tip is on the wall
How about it?
We were a pack of them all
You drank the last of the sherry
Green grass stains on your bed feed
On a dash of your mother's sherry
I guess it's hard to quit
Wish you won't admit to a beginning
We've been from shoulder to shoulder

We'll never grow up
We just got older
Got you whole right through my heart
From the very start
Anticipating
The myth of you
Anticipating
