lyrics

I wrote a letter to an old friend
Dated for when the bottle runs dry
Never heard back, felt like talking to God
Silence on the end of the line
I sat by the river in the cold wind
The thought of you had left my mind
You showed up well versed but I’d lost the words
It’s best if I leave it to time

Keep your glasses full of whiskey when it rains
Blessed by the burden we share
There for your brothers, kin, and the others
Lest we forget why we’re here

I found your voice on an old tape
I was playing piano out of time
Ten years ago laughing with Josh in the kitchen
On any old Tuesday night
We make these assumptions when we think about death
But I think The Boss said it best
Gone into that dark ether where your body rests
The memories are all that last

Keep your glasses full of whiskey when it rains
Blessed by the burden we share
There for your brothers, kin, and the others
Lest we forget why we’re here

When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
Nothing ever lasts, so just hold on
Nothing ever lasts, so just hold on
