lyrics

Just tonight I stood out in the dark
And listened to the wind as my cigarette sparked
I fill my days with noise
It was nice to be still
Yet still my brain embarked
On a trek through random thoughts
These things that I avoid
They remain with me still

Like that late-summer night
In dad’s back yard, shut off the lights
And chased the lightning bugs
It was nice I could still
Be a boy with his dad
Twenty-odd years since I had
And now we laugh and hug
I remain his boy still

And those concerts I played just for ‘G’
An audience of one to please
My guitar out of tune
She was nice I could still
Pretend that I could sing
And know that she was listening
To my wretched revue
Can’t say she remains with me still
Oh she remains with me still

And just a month ago
We were in Bryce Canyon in the snow
So much to scream and say
All quiet and still
Except my racing heart
Fearing a future apart
Could this be our last day?
You remain with me still
Do you remain with me still?
You remain with me still
Remain with me still.
