N. Sherman - Moses Lake Lyrics

I don't visit enough, hasn't changed too much
A few new buildings but not much else is new
Same kind of people, same skies big and blue
I took a walk outside on the low hillside
The wind is blowing through the fields of wheat
It's so much bigger than a rearview mirror
The whole family's in town, it's a beautiful sound
The clinking of glasses, laughter in the air
Talking about the young days, telling jokes that last the years
As the noise dies down and the fire goes out
We all slowly drift our way to our beds
My mother whispers
I wish that you were closer
I'm missing my hometown
And the people that are there
Each memory suspended
Like the sweetest smelling air
There's a woman I knew who passed away in June
Left her husband and the house that hasn't sold
He's trying his best to manage with the cards that he's been dealt
He volunteers at the church with the homeless and hurt
Wears a big red hat with white text on the front
I saw him down at Safeway
But I didn't say Hello
Some old friends are still here, we went out for a beer
We're sharing where our separate roads have taken us
One is having babies, the other just lost two
As we finish our drinks, one of them says to me
It's not much, but I'd never leave this place
Sometimes I wish that I had felt the same

I don't visit enough, hasn't changed too much
A few new buildings but not much else is new
Same kind of people, same skies big and blue
I took a walk outside on the low hillside
The wind is blowing through the fields of wheat
It's so much bigger than a rearview mirror
The whole family's in town, it's a beautiful sound
The clinking of glasses, laughter in the air
Talking about the young days, telling jokes that last the years
As the noise dies down and the fire goes out
We all slowly drift our way to our beds
My mother whispers
I wish that you were closer
I'm missing my hometown
And the people that are there
Each memory suspended
Like the sweetest smelling air
There's a woman I knew who passed away in June
Left her husband and the house that hasn't sold
He's trying his best to manage with the cards that he's been dealt
He volunteers at the church with the homeless and hurt
Wears a big red hat with white text on the front
I saw him down at Safeway
But I didn't say Hello
Some old friends are still here, we went out for a beer
We're sharing where our separate roads have taken us
One is having babies, the other just lost two
As we finish our drinks, one of them says to me
It's not much, but I'd never leave this place
Sometimes I wish that I had felt the same
