if there’s one hope i have
it’s to see you before our time runs
i’m not out to make you sad
but sometimes it’s the worst case
where my head is at
but if i go straight to hell
i’m glad i knew you sort of well
and if i can come back
as a tree or whatever
i hope we can grow together
i saw you cut your hair
it looks nice, i’d never cut my
own days seem to blur
sometimes it’s the little things, keep me honest
let me rest assured
but if i go straight to hell
i’m glad i knew you sort of well
and if i can come back
as a tree or whatever
i hope we can grow together
as a tree or whatever
i hope we can grow together
together

What a great treat! Brings me back to 1998, a much simpler time. My girlfriend (now wife) and I saw you at McCarter Theater back then and we still remember it fondly. Thanks so much for sharing this concert! egordon99
