Tyson Motsenbocker Almira
[Verse 1]
It's been ages since you brought us here
On the long way through the fields
To Grandma's farm before it sold
And that's been eighteen years
The old hotel closed up six months ago
And I'm wondering what you'd say
If you were here beside me
Answer my questions in the wake
[Chorus]
Oh, like how did it feel to leave Almira?
And how did you know your time was done?
Did you know that in the end it'd be Almira
Dying old, reminding me of you again?
[Verse 2]
Well I found your graduation year
Painted on a barn
Around the corner from your high school
In the center of the town
And I imagined you there watching them
Put your mark upon the ground
Said you were glad I couldn't know ya then
Too the same to get along
[Chorus]
Oh, but how did it feel to leave Almira?
And how did you know your time was done?
Did you know that in the end it'd be Almira
Dying old, reminding me of you again?
[Outro]
I saved all your voicemails
After you were gone
Asking me to call you back
From the great beyond
