[00:01.28]When it's time for your reflection
[00:12.57]As you wait till help arrives
[00:23.99]See our good friend's face on the dashboard
[00:36.31]And to know you cannot leave that cab alive
[00:49.30]Do you know I reach for you, from later times
[01:11.72]Once I knew
[01:17.59]Once I knew
[01:22.66]Now I'm walking
[01:28.12]Now I'm walking in the dark
[01:33.73]Like bells our dogs are yelling
[01:36.25]All across Centennial Park
[01:39.00]And the Sunday morning light just sends me blind
[01:44.01]And I'm only feeling useless
[01:46.64]Cause there's nothing I can blame
[01:49.10]Every person, thing and circumstance
[01:51.94]That moves this perfect day
[01:53.82]You've left behind
[02:03.57]And I'm thinking
[02:08.31]Christmas 1982
[02:15.13]Around this time a year ago
[02:17.82]Gaskill sold his boat
[02:20.73]And headed for the Cross to sink a few
[02:25.71]Never trust a Wayside Chapel crowd
[02:29.04]On Christmas Eve
[02:30.88]They must be entertained
[02:33.00]And if a stranger does the dying
[02:35.68]That's O.K.!
[02:45.38]And I'm sitting in a hotel room
[02:49.05]Along Rue St. Louis
[02:51.64]Dialing old phone-numbers down the line
[02:56.49]And I measure my position
[02:58.84]To the obstacles we crossed
[03:01.71]The territory covered
[03:04.19]And the parties that we lost
[03:06.25]Those were the days
[03:07.78]🎵
[04:01.42]And if I don't hang around
[04:05.42]Our old gambling grounds
[04:08.84]It does not mean that I've forgotten
[04:14.68]We believed, and I still do
[04:24.74]🎵
