Music for Deaf People - Open 11-Dark

You used to be open late down at the park
Now you're open till 8, before it's dark
I know that you'll never be closed in my heart
But for now we are open 11-dark

When I was young I thought life was a joy
Mother's soft hands bringing home a new toy
Scraped knees and bruises from rolling down hills
Can't wait to be older with all of it's thrills

Then we turned 12 and saw through a new light
Chores and responsibilities a plight
That's when a twist came along and I moved
New place, new age, new folks, and you

You used to be open late down at the park
Now you're open till 8, before it's dark
I know that you'll never be closed in my heart
But for now we are open 11-dark

Now we see new sights under new brighter lights
Another new place and another new face
Say what you want but we've got each other
We're both empty shells but you are my brother

These seconds are over it's time to say bye
Some of these you won't see before they die
Don't call me a quitter, leaving makes me bitter
But here we are, heading down to the dock

You used to be open late down at the park
Now you're open till 8, before it's dark
I know that you'll never be closed in my heart
But for now we are open 11-dark

Sing us a song of departure and sorrow
I know that you're open till dark tomorrow
We will for now be six hours apart
But six hours is nothing to 11-dark
