Words & Music by Mike Power

It’s been a long time since we were together
Visiting with Jeff
And other old friends in the cemetery
Who no longer need wings to fly

That old song came on the radio
As we rolled slowly through the bones
And over in the distance,
Through the haze of the incinerated west,
Stands the city itself,
Home to the palace of dreams,
Shedding another tear for
Her lost and loyal son
