track 10 from the album "New Year's Eve In The Hospice Ballroom"
lyrics
In the mail this afternoon I got the note concerning you
With all the bills and other useless shit
It said that you’d checked out forever
and a few old friends would get together
For memories and hold each other up
In the mail this afternoon
I raised my hand in sixth grade class
I was never too good at math
I think they tried to tell me what he said
That somewhere in some other place
I’m watching sunlight on your face
And you’ve just whispered
“I’m so happy now"
I think they tried to tell me what he said
Albert Einstein said we’re all alive
In some place and time
That we’re all alive
No words like “never”
Only forever
Albert Einstein
He’s a man you can believe
Had a little dream of us
Cross the country on an old time bus
Hiding out in little mountain towns
A secret team of you and me
We left the words we’d never needed
You’d touch my hand and
I’d know what you mean
That’s the way we’re living in that dream
I never check the mail anymore
