The Sky Opened Wide Like the Tide - The Blow

The sky opened wide like the tide

And I wanted to know

Where are my friends tonight?

So i got into my stride

And I walked to the thekla

I walked inside

And I peered into the atmosphere

And there were people and girls and beers and hair

But no one that I wanted

There was no one that i wanted to be near

Are they at the reef?

We’re over here

Are they at ben moore’s?

We’re over here

Are they at the capital theater?

Are they at the ralph’s?

We’re over here

Are they at some house?

We’re right over here

Are they on 4th ave.

walking up and down and up and down?

When I find you tonight

I’ll put you in my boat and away we’ll ride

Away from the city lights

To the place where the water makes the heavens and the earth collide

And oh my darling

I can feel you breathing

You’re by my side

You’re mine tonight

Are they at the ralph’s?

We’re over here

Are they at some house?

We’re over here

Are they at the capital theater?

Are they at ben moore’s?

We’re over here

Are they at mccoy’s?

We’re right over here

Are they on state street driving up and down and up and down?

And what I want to know

Is where all the people are

And where they go

And what I wouldn’t give

To know where everybody gets together

Where it is that they really live

And oh my baby

When I can’t find you I go crazy

It more than sucks

It’s just too much
