It's been ages since you brought us here On the long way through the fields To Grandma's farm before it sold And that's been eighteen years The old hotel closed up six months ago And I'm wondering what you'd say If you were here beside me Answer my questions in the wake Oh, like how did it feel to leave Almira? And how did you know your time was done? Did you know that in the end it'd be Almira Dying old, reminding me of you again? Well I found your graduation year Painted on a barn Around the corner from your high school In the center of the town And I imagined you there watching them Put your mark upon the ground Said you were glad I couldn't know you then Too the same to get along Oh, but how did it feel to leave Almira? And how did you know your time was done? Did you know that in the end it'd be Almira Dying old, reminding me of you again? I saved all your voicemails After you were gone Asking me to call you back From the great beyond
