lyrics

Their last song echoes
Through a tavern of stone and glass
The only thing left to do is to square up my tab

But I can't let go
Of their vanishing epitaph
It'll be quite a while before I step outside for the cab

I don't even remember where I was before
What will be there when I step through the door?
Could be the winter, the summer or spring
I don't care

Sometimes it's good to be
Stationary
And just a bit forgetful of the road

For there, you'll find
The piece of mind
You carry with you when you choose to go

The band's departed
The hickory, wooden stage
The crowd starts to mumble a tone-deaf kind of rapport

It had only just started
Already they've disengaged
There's more to the world than what motion will try to restore

I don't even remember where I was before
What will be there when I step through the door?
Could be the winter, the summer or spring
I don't care

Sometimes it's good to be
Stationary
And just a bit forgetful of the road

For there, you'll find
The piece of mind
You carry with you when you choose to go

But time goes on
And dreams are spawned
By nothing more than simply staying still

And then I take the road
I take the road
A memory's canonizing to fulfill
