She walked out on the dock
and Pick was all dressed in white
(was all dressed in white)
and and
(I forgot about this)
carrying these balloons
it was such a picture
and she went up
(oh the balloons, yes)
and she went up
(beautiful red balloons)
and she got to the bottom
and she leaned over to
Probably Andy
and said, I'm going
I'm going up there
[laughter]
and he started in to stop her
and she said no
I'm going up, and she did
she climbed up with Andy right behind her
up into the pulpit
and then she let these balloons go
(oh)
and the balloons went up into the air
and then they just blew
perfectly
up the middle of the river --

half as far in twice the time
four lost years and on to five
even I can’t put my finger on
what is so wrong
what is so wrong with me
half as far in twice the time
and a long friend lost along the line
that divided me from my dream
get your own dream
this one is mine, baby
and every point I missed
is buried in so deep
healing up those wounds
would only keep them living on
for another night
and they don’t
no they don’t sleep
am I losing it?
half as far in twice the time
no changed plays or changing minds
we’ve got one last move worth making
while we’re dreaming
long as we’re dreaming
and every point I missed
is buried in so deep
healing up those wounds
would only keep them living on
for another night
and they don’t, they don’t
no they don’t sleep
every point I missed
is gone past my reach
I may lose and lose
and I’ll still be calling you up
on any night
are you there?
are you still there?
am I losing it?

… and of course she was
eager to help
“I’m going to give you
a nightcrawler
and you’re going to bite it in half
and I’m going to bet them
that you won’t do it
… but you will do it
and then I’ll get their money
and then I’m going to give you
a nickel.”

white hair, you
take your place
in the center of the picture;
it never bores me
sunshine, you
take our hands
in silent absolution
your daughter before me
nothing’s staying
we graze and wander
I’ve lost ages
but I’m no goner
white sun, you
darken down
a familiar horizon
somewhere we’ve just been
that old fear is
taking hold
in the dark I heard it promise
to hold me
forever
nothing’s staying
we graze and wander
I’ve lost ages
but I’m no goner
(nothing stays, we can’t wait long)
(gone gone)
(I’m leaving)
(but I’m no goner)
white hair
under my hand
in thirty years of living
it was a new thing
one stray thought
circling the past
in thirty years I never
called you by your real name
