story behind the song: was informed i haven't been too folky lately, so in order to appease i wrote this. the names have been changed to protect i'm not sure what. for an old friend who doesn't want advice, and like me wouldn't follow it anyway.
Lyrics
the longer you live
the more things change
the longer you go
it all seems the same
the hare wants to see you,
up there on the hill
before the dog bytes
become all that's real
the longer you think
the less you get done
the longer you know
the less it seems fun
the cat wants to see you
down on those clouds
with nothing but a promise
of nothing for now
praying to a muse
playing to amuse
and sometimes you even
wake up with friends
and then you see him
with her again
that longing you live for
that longing that grows
the hare has been watching
you're second hand now
the cat thinks in simple
dogged thoughts to let go
before the longing you dream of
becomes all that you know
playing to amuse
praying to a muse
and sometimes you even
wake up with friends
and then you see him
with her again
that woman you live for
that woman you'd die for
that woman you think of
where silence means no
that woman you dream of
you have to let go
