High noon at the pavement's end



The boy in the boots is waving



Firing his guns at dashing shadows



Only he can see



Prone in the neighbor's yard



As all men will one day be



Minor, minor is the lonely key



They dance with the tube tops on



Set fire in the open air



Life is a dream of stems and seeds



A whistle on a golden chain



Loud so the block will hear it



I'll tell you what the kid told me



Minor, minor is the lonely key



Tread light where your roses grow



How cruel is the sun



Your innocence is spent as you run



Won't put the past to rest



Find the sadness that hides in your chest



Mind the sharps and sing the melody alone



Cause they can't hear the tune



And they don't know the words to the song



Hit the trail, young men



Sing while you can



Fade with the sound of the bells



Hang your complaints



In a wide open space



Like a tire from a hoilow tree



Singabout the frozen heights



The vales and the endless sea



Minor, minor is the lonely key



Tread light when your roses grow



How cruel is the sun



Your innocence is spent as you run



Won't put the past to rest



Find the sadness that hides in your chest



Mind the sharps and sing the melody alone



Cause they can't hear the tune



And they don't know the words to the song
