Way up high in the bitter bye-and-bye
With a vision in my brain and cinder in my eye
I gaze into the glass and I feel my body float
And I read a hundred meanings in the letter that you wrote
Why I came to know you, you sweet so-and-so, I'll never know

We walk a twisted mile to see that time always wins
Yet if we keep our promises we might get some back again
It does my heart some good that I can ride along with you
When it's all gone to hell and we've done what we can do
And the moon will be rising soon

Chorus:
I'm trying to find it
I can almost hear the tune
I hope that you don't mind me
Talkin 'till I'm blue
'till I'm blue
Talking 'till I'm blue
'till I'm blue

Wet grass to my knees Is making my feet freeze
I'm looking at the sky and I'm climbing fallen trees

And I'm lost in the museum of the path not chosen
And the trail's gone cold and the beer's all frozen
There's a revelation long overdue.

Chorus:
I'm trying to find it
I can almost hear the tune
I hope that you don't mind me
Talkin 'till I'm blue
'till I'm blue
talking 'till I'm blue
'till I'm blue
talking 'till I'm blue
'till I'm blue

Way up high in the bitter bye-and-bye
With a vision in my brain and cinder in my eye.
I gaze into the glass and I feel my body float
And I read a hundred meaning in the message that you wrote
Why I came to know you sweet so-and-so, I'll never know
