[00:51.05] Been a long time in a low place
[00:54.16]
[00:57.48] Surrounded by what I have made
[00:59.97]
[01:03.84] Need to get away
[01:05.22]
[01:05.95] Get away from what relates
[01:08.09]
[01:08.62] And what was done
[01:09.51]
[01:11.11] Cuz it's all over now
[01:12.70]
[01:16.77] Through the woods I come running to loose leaf
[01:20.68]
[01:21.41] And carve my name
[01:22.34]
[01:23.56] In the lines there's not a trace
[01:25.65]
[01:29.33] I hear the ghost whisper and those old eyes watching me
[01:33.70]
[01:34.24] But I feel safe
[01:35.67]
[01:36.26] Grandfather looking over me
[01:38.66]
[01:44.37] He said
[01:44.94]
[01:46.89] Don't make them wait
[01:48.10]
[01:50.07] Gotta go a long way
[01:51.88]
[01:59.87] Let's be brave
[02:01.24]
[02:02.88] Don't make them wait
[02:04.18]
[02:05.20] Nah don't make them wait
[02:07.58]
[02:33.28] I sat down with a coffee on my bent knee
[02:37.49]
[02:38.31] Looking out at the burnt land looking back at me
[02:43.21]
[02:46.07] These used to be green crops
[02:47.86]
[02:48.40] And high on a summer breeze
[02:50.49]
[02:51.40] No it's fallow fields and clear cut barren weeds
[02:55.43]
[02:58.91] They said that if I stared
[03:00.22]
[03:01.08] The abyss would stare back at me
[03:03.17]
[03:03.84] And so I did
[03:04.65]
[03:05.91] And I felt it slowly creep in me
[03:08.30]
[03:11.99] Save for the smoke that danced when I took a drag
[03:16.03]
[03:17.25] It made me think about the way it all came to be
[03:20.93]
[03:21.86] Grandma watching over me
[03:24.48]
[03:26.52] And she said
[03:27.28]
[03:29.14] Don't make them wait
[03:30.52]
[03:32.30] Gotta go a long way
[03:34.36]
[03:42.39] Let's be brave
[03:43.69]
[03:45.12] Shouldn't them wait
[03:46.76]
[03:47.56] Nah don't make them wait
[03:49.84]
[04:01.15] Don't make them wait nah nah nah nah
[04:04.65]
[04:07.87] Don't make them wait
[04:09.35]
[04:15.90] I hear the ghost whisper
[04:17.36]
[04:17.99] And those old eyes watching me
[04:20.61] But I feel safe
[04:22.33]
[04:26.82] I feel safe
