I've been measuring time in seasons,
And I've got this sinking feeling,
That it ain't the waters rising,
But the land that keeps disappearing
Please shut the door you're letting the cold in,
Feels like I'm talking to some old friends,
That I ain't seen since that night when,
He called my crying, but I ain't help him
Chorus:
And like the lights in the sky I can see you
But I know you ain't really there,
'Cause you've been gone for ages,
Gone but I don't know where
You say you feel like time's been slipping,
Back and forth between was and is,
And one minute we'll be talking,
But the next you're going off the deep end
Like when the big kids would throw you in,
'Cause they knew how much you hated to swim,
And they'd be laughing god they'd be cryin,
And them waters just kept rising
Chorus:
And like the lights in the sky I can see you
But I know you ain't really there,
'Cause you've been gone for ages,
Gone but I don't know where
I've been measuring time in seasons,
And I've got this sinking feeling,
That it ain't the waters rising,
But the land that keeps disappearing
Please shut the door you're letting the cold in,
Feels like I'm talking to some old friends,
That I ain't seen since that night when,
He called my crying, but I ain't help him
