What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Dad never started drinking 'til he was thirty-five
2
And once he found the power
3
He made up for his lost time
4
Go outside and catch a cricket, then unplug the phone
5
Said their singing kept him company
6
When we'd leave him alone
7
Those were days of feeling awkward
8
Being seventeen and such
9
Hoping I could find some comfort
10
In a deacon's daughter's touch
11
I'd spend time out in the desert
12
Feeling lonely with a friend
13
And we'd talk about leaving
14
But it was years before we did
15
Oh the time moves slow
16
And you can't go where you want to go
17
But, oh the time slips away
18
Day after day, day after day
19
Day after day
20
Well I found myself a genie
21
Said she'd grant a wish for me
22
And all I had to do for her
23
Was love her endlessly
24
So I asked my dad about it and he said
25
Son, life's a game we play
26
So I closed my eyes, held her and said
27
Take me away
28
Let's live in a lighthouse on the Maritime shore
29
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
30
Upon our lighthouse door
31
But we never made the ocean, she never followed through
32
She said the day she left
33
You know, I really thought you knew
34
Oh the time moves slow
35
And you can't go where you want to go
36
But, oh the time slips away
37
Day after day, day after day
38
Day after day
39
Well I went back home to see my dad
40
And I walked through the door
41
To his photographs of Hank and Johnny
42
Lying on the floor
43
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
44
And Johnny in the head
45
There were crickets in the hallway
46
And Dad awake in bed
47
He was sitting in the darkness
48
With just a cigarette light
49
Said he went a little crazy
50
Sometime in the night
51
I never asked him about the pictures
52
Though it was clear to me
53
He shot 'em for the life
54
And the man he wouldn't be
55
Oh the time moves slow
56
And you can't go where you want to go
57
But, oh the time slips away
58
Day after day, day after day
59
Day after day
60
Oh the time moves slow
61
And you can't go where you want to go
62
But, oh the time slips away
63
Day after day, day after day
64
Day after day
65
Day after day, day after day
66
Day after day
