Man of the Hour - Live

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crash, then on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions, others walked away
A snowflake falls in May

And the clouds break at dawn
Shedding light upon this town
As the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Gpodbye for now

Nature has its own religion, gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend

And the clouds break at dawn
shedding light upon this town
They all come 'round
As the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
Oh he was guiding me, love, his own way

Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just
Goodbye for now

Uh, this one
This is, this is
I don't have much to say about it except for the fact that it was
My memory of this song was mixing the song in Seattle
And everything was going good, it was going good
And we got our stride and we'd been through a couple bumps
And things in our lives, you know, making this record
And it was finally going good

Oh by the way, the record came out today
Thanks for waiting
I'm saying that to dig at these guys
The uh, but the uh

The memory I have of this song was that
We were mixing and I was doing a bit of singing
We hadn't finished the bridge yet, the middle part
And uh, it was the day of, on the news, we saw your city, you know
The marathon, we were all as stunned and mystified as anybody
And we were thinking about you then
and we've been thinking about you the whole time
It's great to be here

You know you keep waiting on
You know you wonder if there's ever gonna be something like you know
Twenty-five foot aliens that are gonna come down and cause such a disturbance
That all the people of all the countries and all the religions
Are gonna have to band together to protect themselves, you know

Make friends, just like, protect themselves against something
Just in order for them to survive, you know
The funny thing is we probably have that stuff
in the form of climate change and all that
We really do need to all band together

So when you see an incident like that it's just hard
And we can still overcome and we have to overcome
And I will have faith that we can overcome
Just like I had faith that the Red Socks could win and they did it
That's what's such a great thing

So we're gonna play this one for you and
With all those memories going through our heads
It's called "Yellow Moon"
