Today the grass is like another green Straight from heaven's garden, like you've never seen At first glance it's like this place is on fire But it's just time for this dew to expire
Most of the days I'm down near the sea People say they're not seeing me I miss them as much as they miss me I miss them just like they miss me
Now yesterday I think he might have called To say "Hey," or just to get us all To get together on a Saturday To take some time come down your way
Now, he lives over on the north Side He can walk, doesn't need a ride I wouldn't pick him up anyway It's not not my town, I don't know the way
I see him out my window On a very different street Where leaves fall up in the spring time And the sun sets in the east
I'm always late whem I'm visiting I can't remember where the station is What time will you be coming in? What time will you be coming in?
I wish my town had an airport In 15 minutes we'd be at my door Use the time for a walk and some wine But these days I'm trying not to think about time
I see him out my window On a very different street Where leaves fall up in the spring time And the sun sets in the east
We hang out in the garden Away from phone calls, strip malls, I don't want to leave you behind
It's just that grayed-out horizon Hey, don't you think it's time?
