When I find myself with a song to writeI remember candles in the nightVoices raised in a ragged harmonySinging this land was made for you and meSome of those voices are silent now and goneI'm glad to see how you've been keeping onI remember the songs that pulled us throughAnd when I hear those songs I think of youSo thank you for the honor of your companyThank you for the honor of your companyThe music was as sweet as the good red wineThanks for the companyAnd thanks for the harmonyI'm here to say the honor was all mineBack when times were tough and the news was badFaith and a couple of songs was all we hadSome of those voices are silent now and goneSongs we rearranged and made our ownSongs it sometimes seemed we'd always knownWe've been together now for a long, long timeAnd if ever I was the poet you were the rhymeIt was always the music that kept us strongAnd if ever I was the poet you were the rhymeYou were the songSo thank you for the honor of your companyThe music was as sweet as the good red wineThanks for the companyAnd thanks for the harmonyI'm here to say the honor was all mineDecade after decadeYear by yearSeason after season we're still hereAnd it does not take a crystal ball to knowWe're gonna go out singing when we goFive string banjo and a steel string guitarJust a couple of the reasons why we've come this farSinging like we always have and willKnowing the circle is unbroken stillSo thank you for the honor of your companyThe music was as sweet as the good red wineThanks for the companyAnd thanks for the harmonyI'm here to say the honor was all mineI'm here to say the honor was all mineThank you for the honor of your companyThe music was as sweet as the good red wineThanks for the companyAnd thanks for the harmonyI'm here to say the honor was all mineThanks for the harmonyI'm here to say the honor was all mine
