coast starlight | washington state

when the slow parade went past / when it felt so good you knew it couldn’t last / and all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning / you’d have to just go home / and the way it all went by / somebody said “come on its getting late” / and you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way / now you wish that you had stayed / and there’s so much more that you could see if you just stick around / and all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out / oh no / there’s so much more that you need to work out / oh no / you don’t want that parade to leave you now /

and the days are all the same / and the town so big and no one knows your name / the people fade away / all stars are just a flicker / and you’re left there all alone / when the music’s over / but the song stays in your head /
