Yellow cab was always waiting, cigarettes were for the taking
You wrote a dream, got overtaken, and I don't know why
Silver hair your skin was aging, you looked like all we've been craving
Said your piece, the night was fading and we all said goodbye
If you bow out then how do we get by
Whiskey, wine, and beer elated, Sun came up, friends forgave you
Sleep until it's all dated beneath a darkened sky
Promises the world was baited, collected thoughts and none were jaded
You wrote it down and celebrated and now I want to cry
If you bow out then how do we get by
Shared a dream we all created, the less I know the more I hate it
The words were why we all waited, and now I want to cry
If you bow out then how do we get by
