‘Cause answers go by so fast
Why do answers go by so fast
That's a damn good question
I thought you'd never ask
Thought you'd never think to ask

I've forgotten what I don't remember
Don't remember what I forgot

Though I ponder my days go sleepless through my nights
I prefer to go to the walking in the hills
When they're warm in the evening light

And the journey is in the asking
As a car goes roaring past
We glimpse a face in a window
That never came to pass

I walk among the oaks
Cross shadows to the light
As the distant valley
Prepares for night
Cars with their headlights
Sweeping through the trees
Lighting patches of branches
What we can't see recedes

Ahead there lies a silence
Voices from the stone
If we choose to listen
On days we walk alone
We're left with questions
A trembling of song
An hour is lifetime
It's here and then it's gone

Evening shadows grow long
The old man's walk alone
In the blurring of light he'll be gone
Gone

Throw our questions in the water
Watch the ripples grow
Press a cheek to the dirt
See the mountain from below
If it's answers we're looking for
If it's answer we're looking for
If it's answers we're looking for
Feel the the earth against our skin
Face down down and take it in

It's a damn good question
And the moon is in the trees
It's a damn good question
So let's drink to you and me
Let's drink a toast to the asking
To questions everlasting
Cause the moon is in the trees

So here's to you and me
So here's to you and me
We're here

Cause answers go by so fast
Why do answers go by so fast
That's a damn good question
I thought you'd never ask
Thought you'd never think to ask
