lyrics

Tallis put this song right here
Through the valleys and the trees
And it was the last thing he could see
When he put this show right here
In the forests and the mines
And that was just the thing that he reminds

At the closing of the year and when we all went over to the pier
Many different shapes and all those different kinds of lakes
That we were never near

Falling out of all those swings
When the sphinx was blooming clear
And that was just the shape that he was near
Coming closer with our lives
And the first thing that you see
That's just the kind of thing that we wants to be

At the closing of the year and when we all went over to the pier
That was just a word that you had heard
Back in those years that had the final gear

40 years and nothing new
And you almost made it here
But that's the kind of thing that I see now
