A New Forever

(Album: Five Crooked Lines - 2015)

Where were you when the days were long
We used to have the time but now it's gone
And so a new forever just goes on
Now you're somewhere in the atmosphere
Somehow everywhere but never here
The reason that I know it's true
Is 'cause the voices in my head sound just like you
I'm sure you're spirit's coming 'round
And I'm sure I'll be here to bring it down

They've been imaginary barriers all along
They've been imaginary barriers... but they're real enough

Before we knew the dusk from dawn
We never knew who's side the time was on
For all we knew forever wasn't so long
How many days have come and gone
I don't care to count for fear I'm wrong

They've been imaginary barriers all along
They've been imaginary barriers... but they're real enough
They've been imaginary barriers all along
They've been imaginary barriers... but they're real enough

I used to hear your voice before
But I'm not sure I hear it anymore
I'm sure your spirit's still as true
'Cause you never left the world, the world left you
