13. MARLEY’S GHOSTS

I. PAST
We found it at that house,
Where we lived for several years.
We pulled together as a crew
As we packed away the beers.

We charted a new course.
Our friendships drew us tight.
We often partied all day long
Then rolled into the night.

But now, everyone is leaving.
It's time to hit the road for good.
Who'd guess we'd look back and be grieving?

Oh…where did they go?
Oh…where did they go?
Oh…where did they go?
Oh…where did they go?

II. PRESENT
We thought we had the time.
We thought we had it right.
We felt like things would never change,
Though we knew deep down they might.

Invincible to pain,
Our youth had made us strong.
We used to do a full day's work,
Then study all night long.

But now, everyone is tired,
With jobs and kids and bills to pay,
All-nighters just might get you fired.

Oh…where did it go?
Oh…where did it go?
Oh…where did it go?
Oh...where did it go?

III. FUTURE
It felt just like a dream,
A wife who'd never nag.
You told me that the only way out
Was in a body bag.

You said you'd never leave.
You said you'd never go.
You said our love would live forever,
And I trusted you to know.

But now, I am living all alone
In a house too big for only one,
And there is no one left to phone.

Oh…where did you go?
Oh…where did you go?
Oh…where did you go?
Oh…where did you go?
