Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions others walked away
Like snowflakes falls in May
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
'Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye 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 breaks at dawn shedding light upon this town
They'll all come around
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
As the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now
