Dark Times At The Berlin Wall

(album: Only Things We Love - 2019)

Tell me what does it take to make
Take to make me a man
You've been speaking to tired gods
I've been conferring with cats
They told me when to look to the sky
Where to stand on that road
Where they led me in secrecy
Tracking signals of gold

(You will wave goodbye to someone)
You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot
(Goodbye to someone)
And I'll say, "hello, hello astronaut"

Now and then you look to that sky
From that spot on the road
Wondering at the elusive light
I'll be harvesting gold
I'll be harvesting gold
I'll be harvesting…

('Til you wave goodbye to someone)
You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot
(Goodbye to someone)
And I'll say, "hello, hello, hello"
('Til you wave goodbye to someone)
You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot
(Goodbye to someone)
And I'll say, "hello, hello astronaut"

I've lost my way on this road
Yet found a perfect way for me to go
And to the love who lost me not
I will wave goodbye as I say, "hello, hello, astronaut"

(Goodbye to someone)
You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot
(Goodbye to someone)
And I'll say, "hello, hello"
(You will wave goodbye)
(Goodbye to someone)
And I'll say, "hello, hello astronaut"
