Danko/Manuel

Let the night air cool you off

Tilt your head back and try to cough

Don't say nothing about the things you never saw

Let the night air cool you off

I ain't living like I should

A little rest might do me good

Got to sinking in the place where I once stood

Now I ain't living like I should

Can you hear that singing Sounds like gold

Maybe I can only hear it in my head

Fifteen years ago we owned that road

Now it's rolling over us instead

Richard Manuel is dead

God forbid you call their bluff

Like the nightmares ain't enough

Remember when we used to think that we were tough

God forbid you call their bluff

First they make you out to be

The only pirate on the sea

They say Danko would have sounded just like me

"Is that the man you want to be "

Can you hear that singing It sounds like gold

Maybe I could make it bigger overseas

Fifteen years ago we owned this road

Now it only gives us somewhere else to leave

Something else you can't believe

Can you hear that singing Sounds like gold

Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave

Singin' where to reap and when to sow

When you've found another home you have to leave

Something else you can't believe

Something else you can't believe
