[00:15.48] I hung out with the old folks, in the hope that I'd get wise.
[00:21.92] I was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divide.
[00:29.05] Hung on every recollection, in the theater of their eyes.
[00:36.19] Picking up on this and that, in the few that still survive.
[00:43.47] Call em up
[00:45.27] Dust em off
[00:47.54] Let em shine
[00:51.23] The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind
[00:57.81] Those that flew, those that fell,
[01:01.93] The ones that had to stay
[01:05.30] Beneath a little wooden cross
[01:08.58] Oceans away
[01:27.52] They bend like trees in winter, these shuffling old gray lions
[01:34.18] Though snow white start to gather, like the belt around Orion.
[01:41.11] Just a touch of faded lightning, of the powerful design,
[01:48.30] Of the generation gathered, for maybe the last time.
[01:55.01] Call em up
[01:57.31] Dust em off
[01:59.09] Let em shine
[02:02.48] The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind
[02:08.63] Those that flew, those that fell,
[02:12.87] The ones that had to stay
[02:16.13] Beneath a little wooden cross
[02:19.28] Oceans away
[02:25.47] Oceans away where the green grass sways and the cool wind blows across the
[02:30.72] shadow of their graves.
[02:38.94] shoulder to shoulder, back in the day, sleeping bones to rest in Earth
[02:45.90] Oceans away
[02:52.59] Oceans away
[02:59.75] Call em up
[03:01.18] Dust em off
[03:03.31] Let em shine
[03:07.05] The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind
[03:13.48] Those that flew, those that fell,
[03:17.89] The ones that had to stay
[03:21.49] Beneath a little wooden cross
[03:24.87] Oceans away
