The Reunion



5 year school reunion
Our local hometown bar
There's taped down plastic table cloths
And coats hung at the door
Don't know if you are coming
I know you'd have to travel pretty far
Light speed conversations
Jobs and politics
Some people gettin married
And some starting businesses
A couple leaving early
They gotta get back home to see their kids
Then for a moment I
Thought I caught your eye
But it was only just the dust around your name
So I'm asking around
How you're doing now
Cause you're the only reason that I came
10 year school reunion
In the corner drinking something strong
Patiently waiting for you to walk through that door
Oh why is it taking so long?
Then someone cracks a joke about how
I should get up on stage and play a song
Oh, then John starts talking Jesus
While Joe's been losing faith
And Sarah jumps right in again
She's always loved debate
And a couple quiet words were shared
Reserved for those who couldn't make today
Then for a moment I
Thought I caught your eye
But it was only just the dust around your name
So I'm asking around
How you're doing now
Cause you're the only reason that I came
50 year reunion
In someone's living room
Talking bout the good old days
And the friends that died too soon
There's pictures on the table
But all my favorites are the ones with you
