lyrics

I was there in the earthquake of ‘89
But I did not feel a thing
It was five o’clock in the afternoon
When I laid down to sleep
And I dreamed the dawn of the Chanticleer
But I could not hear him sing
Did he miss the sun, was he so far gone
When winter turned to spring

And now that he’s much older
Who will open up their wings
On every new year
And federal holiday, oh yeah

The summer trees would hang so low
In the garden where I stayed
I let my doors open to the wind
When no one knew my name
And I’d sit and stare so unaware
I was waiting out my time
And the paint would crack in the morning light
When I would lose my mind

And as it got much colder
I’d raise my head and sing
On every new year
And federal holiday
What changes time would bring

Should the seasons change again, my friend
Or the planets realign
I’m still the very same person
But I’ll be different next time

And should you catch me smiling
Will you open up your wings
On every new year
And federal holiday
