Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band - Not Not, Not Forever (Live at The Hangar On The Hudson) (Live)

The beach is empty
The sky is too
For what they left me, it's just like the way I think of you
And they don't love me
They never will
No they won't love me, I just like the way they make me feel

For what they told me, the ocean rose
To fall back over with a whisper as the curtains closed
The moonlit harbor, the seabirds' wheel
A motion forward
Illusion always seems so real

For what I told myself it's not the harness
It's the whip that makes the painted horses run
A silver dollar wasted on a bargain
The rise and fall of spinning around the sun

And it's fading quickly
And falling fast
For what's so simple, the feeling never seems to last
And time is bending
From what I know
The world is ending in a whimper as the saying goes

For what I came for, a mission bell
A quiet station
The war is over now it's just as well
The moonlit highway, the silver coast
The concrete garden
A flower painted like a ghost

For what I can't explain it's misadventure
A letter, never written, never came
It seems I'll live my life down in the valley
The mountains never called me by my name
In what I can't afford to leave unopened
The city holds a fever dream for sale
I'll see you in the one they call New Orleans
I'll be swinging something by the tail

The beach is empty
The sky is too
For what they left me, it's just like the way I think of you
The moonlit harbor, the seabirds' wheel
The concrete garden
Illusion always seems so real
