Well the past is still the past you can visit anytime.
Nothing’s really changed except a few road signs.
Well it’s quiet ’round here and we like it that way. So don’t go sniffing ’round a newly dug grave.
Hold fast to the ray, that slips past the falling rain. 
Keep your dream ’neath your hat, and the wind on your back.
Day breaks, cock crows, earth quakes, night glows,
flowers wilt, love dies, snow melts, sun shines. Oh my, oh my.
