He's Moving On

Airmail letter from you

Came through my door like it already knew

That I'd been thinking of you

Just the night before under a january moon

He's moving on

He's moving on

Like the trains in the night

That run through these hills

Begging me to come

But for now I'm just sitting tight

Last night a billion stars

Flooded the sky when I walked back from the bar

I said I could be anywhere

If I let my mind wander

While staring up there

Winter is strange

The way it keeps you guessing

If you'll be alright

But he's moving on

He's moving on

And it's true I'm stuck here tonight

Someone went and knocked down

The house where dad grew up

To build a new part of town

He used to play in the creek

Now it's where you park your car

When there's no space in the street

We all move on

Just 'cause we have to

But we still get sad

'Cause we don't belong

Only in part

To the memories of good times we had
