From the recording Across a Carnival

Friends, siblings and neighbors become strangers with time, yet habit and decorum keep us connected—if only by a wave.

Lyrics

The rain is falling
From that hole in the sky
The rain is falling
And I don’t know why
But I’ll wave just the same and say goodbye

The lonesome moonlight
We know so well
In the lonesome moonlight
And where we fell
But I’ll wave just the same and say it’s hard to tell

Hold on
Don’t you know me
I am the one
I am someone

I know you’re leaving
In that old blue car
I know you’re leaving
Just don’t go too far
But I’ll wave just the same and say there you are
