Polar Island Parkway - The Water (Part II) Lyrics

Dearest Judy
I used to reach you now my arms are not
Long enough to span this water
How's that horse been?
How are your courses?
God, how the time has gone
How have things been with our father?
New York state is
Feeling vacant
Oh what a shadow cast
By that Erebus of a city
Unlike Rochester
I'm getting better better every day
But I want to know if you're okay
I never once noticed what color your eyes were
I looked to the water cause every smile hurt
I never thought I'd be like him in my life
We're once and the same
Breaking your leg
To keep you in place
I've been tryin' to call you
And Pablo is having the time of his life
While you're growing up so fast in front of our eyes, bud
Get out of those chains
Move on from that place
Keep moving like water
Across the tips of his fingers
Through the gaps in his hands
I met a girl here
From way down south
Her voice is like honey
She takes pictures
Sells 'em for money
She took one of me
When I was feeling funny
Swear that's the only time
In my life I'd seen my smile
Or at least in a while
I've been tryin' to reach you
And maybe one day we'll come up for a weekend
But I kinda hope that you're not there to meet her
And you're off somewhere else
Smiling yourself
What came of that strange angsty boy from the downtown?
I really thought he was refreshing to be 'round
And Pablo & I loved how much you would be out
Away from the water
The best to our father
The best to our mother
And when you see Pablo
You tell him to call me
We're awful big brothers
And I'm sorry to bug you
But there is a whole world
Miles away from the water
It's trying to call you
