I've been sitting here on this lonely park bench Counting down the hours til the sun sets or the world ends. I've been thinking of all the things that I wanna do Gonna clean myself up See my kids again. I used to think of all the places I've never been Until I started thinking of how lucky I've been 'Cause I'm a working man no city's my home Been moving on my whole life I will always roam. I've been thinking of all the ways my life might end In a big white bed with all my close friends there but I might rather have a cigarette under an old tree somewhere in the woods where you will never find me.

Do you hear the silence As it echoes ‘round our living room With open ears And a quiet hope Do you hear the quiet As it falls down with this dusk Through the eldest trees That are in the woods What did they hear before me? What did they hear before you? Before our quiet love? Do you hear my heartbeat As it reaches from my chest It is with me now And until I rest Do you hear the chorus Lush and loud at dawn and dusk Where the crickets sing And the birds they fight What did they hear before me? What did they hear before you? Before our quiet love? Can you hear my words now As true as I can speak them To a town called home To my mom and dad What did they hear before me? What did they hear before you? Before our quiet love?

You were sitting there On my porch The last time I saw you And it seems that I Have forgot What it is, what it feels like To touch Your hand was holding mine All this time How could I be so blind Be so blind Well the sun is rising on a new dawn And the stars are praying as they fade I woke from a dream And a lie For the very last time But you were stuck in your History book With your favorite ending Like someone you know All too well You can’t see in them a spell Well the sun is rising on a new dawn And the stars are praying as they fade All my neighbor said Was a quell A closed book can’t be read But all the birds and trees They can tell What you really mean So get off my porch Walk away And fall out of your daydream Well the sun is rising on a new dawn And the stars are praying as they fade Yes the sun is rising on a brand new dawn And the stars are praying as they fade
