I hung out with the old folks

In the hope that I'd get wise

I was trying to bridge the gap

Between the great divide

Hung on every recollection

In the theater of their eyes

Picking up on this and that

In the few that still survive

Call em up

Dust em off

Let em shine

The ones who hold onto the ones

They had to leave behind

Those that flew those that fell

The ones that had to stay

Beneath a little wooden cross

Oceans away

They bend like trees in winter

These shuffling old gray lions

Though snow white start to gather

Like the belt around Orion

Just a touch of faded lightning

Of the powerful design

Of the generation gathered

For maybe the last time

Call em up

Dust em off

Let em shine

The ones who hold onto the ones

They had to leave behind

Those that flew those that fell

The ones that had to stay

Beneath a little wooden cross

Oceans away

Oceans away where the green grass sways and

The cool wind blows across the shadow of their graves

Shoulder to shoulder back in the day

Sleeping bones to rest in Earth

Oceans away

Oceans away

Call em up

Dust em off

Let em shine

The ones who hold onto the ones

They had to leave behind

Those that flew those that fell

The ones that had to stay

Beneath a little wooden cross

Oceans away
