Today the grass is like another green
Straight from heaven's garden, like you've never seen
At first glance it's like this place is on fire
But it's just time for the dew to expire

Most of the days I'm down near the sea
People say they're not seeing me
I miss them as much as they miss me
I miss them just like they miss me

Now yesterday I think he might have called
To say "Hey," or just to get us all
To get together on a Saturday
To take some time come down your way

Now, he lives over on the north Side
He can walk, doesn't need a ride
I wouldn't pick him up anyway
It's not my town, I don't know the way

I see him out my window
On a very different street
Where leaves fall up in the spring time
And the sun sets in the east

I'm always late when I'm visiting
I can't remember where the station is
What time will you be coming in?
What time will you be coming in?

I wish my town had an airport
In 15 minutes we'd be at my door
Use the time for a walk and some wine
But these days I'm trying not to think about time

I see him out my window
On a very different street
Where leaves fall up in the spring time
And the sun sets in the east

We hang out in the garden
Away from phone calls, strip malls
I don't want to leave you behind
It's just that grayed-out horizon
Hey, don't you think it's time?
