lyrics

When Pennsylvania calls my name
I will greet it like an old friend
And if the woods are still the same
My legs will walk them again

I have torn with my teeth
I have knit my brow
With a worry that could wound the whole world
There's a song that is sung
When the lights go down
So I will sleep with my radio on
I will sleep with my radio on
I will sleep with my radio on

Maybe tonight I'll reconcile
What's lost with what remains
The mountain sleeps just like a child
The river hopes for the same

The last time we spoke
It was for the best
That the past was just passing away
We emptied out
What was in our chests
And the moon made us forget our names
Yes the moon made us forget our names
The moon made us forget our names

When Pennsylvania calls my name
I will greet it like an old friend
The dark and the dawn meet everyday
And that's just where the story begins

If there are bells that will toll
When I make my move
Let them ring right and true on the hour
If there is light from the sky
That will shatter through
It's nothing short of a meteor shower
Nothing short of a meteor shower
Nothing short of a meteor shower
Nothing short of a meteor shower
