New Years, new socks Already got, already got Holes in my heels Holes in my heels Where'd you Where did you go Yeah I want to know I want to know So bring in the others And bring in their mothers Searching for some truth Harmful, hopeful disappointed youth Taken, taken for granted Carved from the granite stones So alone So alone right here at home Talk to, talk to new people under the steeple They take your hand What they know you'll never understand So bring in the others And bring in their mothers Searching for some truth Harmful, hopeful disappointed youth Wander, turn to the right and turn off your light And waken to your strange alarm I still don't see the harm Careful Reckless Forcome what may I'm happy to say I know you won't be long No you won't be long So bring in the others And bring in their mothers Searching for some truth Harmful, hopeful disappointed youth

If you're ever wondering how I'm doing now I'd tell you not that much has changed if it matters anyhow But I'd rather see your face so I could tell you for myself I miss the days when you would come around these winter months I drag my feet pacing this town Snow melts on my bootlaces and soaks me up and down Your smile might provide the thaw that's nowhere to be found I miss the days when you would come around Spring's a time of year when I'm happy just to live Barricades that seemed impassable slowly bend and give Way to better things than I have ever imagined But I'll still miss the days when you would come around May is on its way and I'm happy to be here The burdens that I've carried wash away like summer tears With buds I'll bloom like growing shoots I'll pass on through these years But I'll still miss the days when you would come around

Hand in hand we watched thee fire as its flames danced towards the sky Wondering if we'd ever meet again All those years ago it seems we looked at the night and screamed You cannot end and apprehend this thing we had So one day in late summertime I appeared among the red pines Acting like I'd been there all along What I saw was such devotion To bring anyone to emotion With those precious days that slip away No matter how we try I hear the stories and the sing alongs The echoes of the ringing gong I see the shooting stars who picked up guitars and grew up before my eyes somewhere out there on the water the old blue heron smiles and nods So one more circle game and one last refrain Of sammy's bar is song It was finding the old hidden roads to the hilltops I had longed to know It was finally capturing the flag Staring down the jabberwocky As it stares at Interlocken hands And friends it cannot hope to rend apart As the years go by I realize It was the PurpleLilacs all this time The hobbit homes and granite stones and thoughts among the pines I still carry these things with my I walk along in decent company But I know deep down inside I havent been inside So it's time for bollywogger to sip coffee with his logger friend It's time to kiss the elephant stone It's time to face the world and make them see This love wil not go quietly It's finally time for me to come home Hey the last boats are leaving Haul away the daighso
