living next door to challenge
things will never be the same again
i close my eyes and remember
a place in the sun
where we used to live

you're sneaking around out there
hoping that i step on out
he longs for me, and someday we
will go downtown
to levy's bar

ask someone who knew me
they will never be the same again
they tell their lives through sunken eyes
inside a song, it makes me cry

even though i know
this ship will still sail on
long after i'm gone
gone...i will be gone

in this world of wisdom
no one never really has a clue
they kill their lives every day
with what they say and what they do

heaven knows i know
that the ship will still sail on
long after i'm gone
gone...i will be gone
