The Last Time We Were All Together

I'll stay a while
While the laughter fills my body
I'll stay a while
In the night
Everyone here
In the hallways of our always
Safe in the walls of our now

I'll stay a while
Because something portends
This is a memory already
Before it ends
How many more times left
In the well of what is thereof
If it will ever happen again

All that we had, all that we shared
We were all
We were all
No empty chairs, nothing prepared
We were all altogether
I see the moment
We couldn't know it
As all those words fell off our tongues
It's not like asking
When was the last time we were young
Out of thin air
I see us there
We were all
We were all
All that we had
All that we shared
For the last time
We were all
All together

Dozens of ornate clocks on the mantle
Stopped at every possible time
Every place packed full because we save it
Panels and combs and perfume
Rings like anchors
Stop and burn it into my mind
Carry my part of the weight that we gave it

Magnify the inside
Cover all this
Tend the vines
Turn blood into wine
Wade through the decline now to claim it

There on both sides of the road
In the ditch at the station
