Some people leave you on the line
They think they've got time to make amends
I've come to wonder why
Some stories have to end
But oh
When you're on the job you never know
Which of them will pass
And who should go
Either way it makes my heart swing low
Some people leave you on the line
They think you've got time to wait for them
Eventually they realize why
I have to say goodbye to you, my friend
But oh,
When I'm on the job I never know
The seams that I should rip
Or try to sew
Either way it makes my heart swing low
As it's been written
And let the record show
I've not been defeated
You never depleted me
So state your claim
It's not a trial
For me it's the truth
You tried to file me away
Now we are locked in battle
I look at look at you like hunted cattle
Now that we've drawn the line
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
Along with the rest of the ship
I'm a ghost from the way past
We used to be real close
Good to see you again
Must say you're looking well
Hope I'm able to tell
As it's been such a long time
Wonder if you remember
That haunting November
When I was crying out for you
Regardless, how have you been?
Tell me where to begin
As it's been such a long time
I've been flying high
I've been flying low
Checking over the landscape
The hills and the snow
To tell you the truth
I've been thinking of you
At the time I didn't notice
How much you were hurt
That I did it to you
Hope you will forgive me
As I will forgive you
We don't have forever, I know
Regardless, how have you been?
Show me where to begin
It's so good to see you my friend
I've been flying high
I've been flying low
There are more places I must go
Now I must go
When you find love, you will find peace
When you find peace, you will find love

Special thanks to my dear mate, Matt Stevens, who plays a great electric guitar solo. You'll know which one.

The guitar work that Matt Stevens is capable of is truly artistic. His use of loops is creative too. He is able to create one of those "guitar quartet" sounds single-handedly. paintelectric

New to these guys. Bought all the albums. Beautiful music and vocals. Particularly Pete Jones. I’m not at all religious, indeed I have no time for it, but this is very lovely. Stephen Clark
