Lyrics

It seems just like one hundred years have come and gone
Since you wrote me all those pretty words
I know the phone won't ring here not tonight
But if it does I'll let him take your place hell I'll let anybody try
Empires crumble in less time who's to say with you and I

Jack's bait shop was full of red faced men tonight
Winter's coming on and I've been trying hard
Sometimes I still taste your cologne on my face
Tasting bitter smelling so sweet
How come things move at such a tiring pace
Yet I can never get to sleep

I just wish again that whatever steers my mind
Will drop the reins and rest a spell
I hope next summer isn't changed forever
Or if it is that I can say it's just as well

It's the same for you as it is for me I hear you say
I imagine countless phrases like this from you every day
They let me know how much I wish I'd never seen you go
Now there are too many days with no one to call nothing to show
A forever full of days with no one to call nothing to show

I just wish again that whatever steeres my mind
Will drop the reins and rest a spell
I hope next summer isn't changed forever
Or if it is that I can say it's just as well

Jack's bait shop was full of red faced men tonight
Winter's coming on
