from Already Fading On Some Horizon (February 5th 2003) (3:57)
Many times passed, many farewells cast
Many returns to the streets in the city where we'd meet
Now there's vacancies that greet when I arrive
There's a new chill in the dawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Hazy fog around me like the ragged ruins of my memory
There's a scattered wind of change blowin leaves across the range
Like the empty soul that's strangely still alive
All the water has been drawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Phantom kisses touch my cheek where all the dry tears leak
Strangers I once knew, the past a shade of blue
With a year becomin two then twenty-five
Well I keep on movin on
All the friends I ever had are gone
Many returns to the streets in the city where we'd meet
Now there's vacancies that greet when I arrive
There's a new chill in the dawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Hazy fog around me like the ragged ruins of my memory
There's a scattered wind of change blowin leaves across the range
Like the empty soul that's strangely still alive
All the water has been drawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Phantom kisses touch my cheek where all the dry tears leak
Strangers I once knew, the past a shade of blue
With a year becomin two then twenty-five
Well I keep on movin on
All the friends I ever had are gone

from Post-Apocalyptic Hymnal (December 3rd 2008) (3:11)
Many times passed, many farewells cast
Many returns to the street in the city where we'd meet
Now there's vacancies that greet when I arrive
There's a new chill in the dawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Hazy fog around me
Like the ragged ruins of my memory
There's a scattered wind of change blowing leaves across the range
Like the empty soul that's strangely still alive
All the water has been drawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Phantom kisses touch my cheek where all the dry tears leak
Strangers I once knew, the past a shade of blue
With a year becoming two then twenty-five
Well I keep on moving on
All the friends I ever had are gone
Many returns to the street in the city where we'd meet
Now there's vacancies that greet when I arrive
There's a new chill in the dawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Hazy fog around me
Like the ragged ruins of my memory
There's a scattered wind of change blowing leaves across the range
Like the empty soul that's strangely still alive
All the water has been drawn
All the friends I ever had are gone
Phantom kisses touch my cheek where all the dry tears leak
Strangers I once knew, the past a shade of blue
With a year becoming two then twenty-five
Well I keep on moving on
All the friends I ever had are gone
