Cavalry

(album: Because We Had To - 2018)

Way down on the edge of town
A young man waits and the old ones stand around
There's a face I used to know
But the shadow of him outcasts my soul
And I know that I know this place
Still I feel like I'm trapped in an old dark cave
And I'm ready to run through the end of the night
If you're waiting for me

Do you remember those nights we would howl at the moon?
Do you recall those memories the way I do?
Do you remember anything from when we were free?
Do you recall those memories?
You know I do

Way down on the edge of town
My only friends still fly around
Though their faces and ages have changed
When I think their names the memories remain
In a minute all I knew was gone
My body flies around as I watch from afar
And we went to the edge of the earth
We're not coming back again

Do you remember those nights we would howl at the moon?
Do you recall those memories the way I do?
Do you remember anything from when we were free?
Do you recall those memories?
You know I do

Bring me back to the cavalry
Alone in the field and all I see
Is a town from the past
Where a friend and a laugh is all I need
Let me go and let me be
But don't let go of those memories
From when you were you
And I was me
And we were we

Way down on the edge of town
My friends have gone and I'm all but worn out
I'm alone in the snow, my soul it shows
Through a light up ahead
And I know that I know this place
But I'm no longer trapped in that old dark cave
And I feel my feet lift off the ground
And I'm flying around

Do you remember those nights we would howl at the moon?
Do you recall those memories the way I do?
Do you remember anything from when we were free?
Do you recall those memories?
You know I do
