Somewhere Back There

I tried to smile as he tried not to cry
Said I’d go around mornin' light
He said, «No need for drawn out goodbyes»
Despite the void, I tend to believe
As moment by moment slips out of reach
At least we’re eternal in once having been
Tryin' for solid ground in a watery atmosphere
In the field behind the Millers whisperin' in the night
And under the beat of the August rain
We could tell tomorrow’s weather
From the sound of the viaduct’s passin' train
As I travel back to somewhere gone
I watch the evening passin' on
To a place beyond this short refrain
And somewhere back there, yeah
Maybe we both remain
Together we both remain
Sleepless I walk, the moon’s on his way
Echoin' light in his beautiful chains
Echoes of you singin' vogue up the lane
Some questions I’ve dealt with
One or two I ignore
They keep me in bed in the mornin'
Hangin' above like a tremblin' sword
Tryin' for solid ground with your hand on the mantelpiece
Somehow you pulled the whole thing down
And woke up half the night
And under the ache of the risin' sun
We could tell tomorrow’s weather
From the sound of the Crewood Common guns
As I travel back to somewhere gone
I watch the evening passin' on
To a place beyond this short refrain
But somewhere back there, yeah
Maybe we both remain
Together we both remain
As I travel back to somewhere gone
I watch the evening passin' on
To a place beyond this short refrain
But somewhere back there, yeah
Maybe we both remain
