lyrics

You swam out so far.
What did you find out there, beyond the bar?
When you knew there would be no going back,
And the big blue turned to black.

Underneath your jester’s hat
was it as bad as that?
A wish to end it all, I can understand
but what problems did it solve?

Tonight I look up at the moon
you chose to leave way too soon.
You threw in the towel
For you, brother, I’ll lift my head, and I’ll howl.

How far exactly did you get?
Did you have any time for regret?
Did you try and turn around?
Before the cold took you down.

How long were you alone?
As the chill set in the bone.
How deep to meet those icy arms?
Or did the end she come on warm?

Tonight I look up at the moon
you chose to leave way too soon.
You threw in the towel
For you, brother, I’ll lift my head, and I’ll howl.

You may think you know a guy;
But you don’t ever see inside.
Sorry to miss you, man.
I didn’t see you go.
But now there’s a hole
On every crowded dance floor.
Thought you’d like to know.
Thought you’d want to know.

Tonight I look up at the moon
you chose to leave way too soon.
You threw in the towel
For you, brother, I’ll lift my head, and I’ll howl.
