It seems like I'm in danger
Distracted by all that I see
And even the nodding strangers
Can tell what is happening to me

Well, the boats we ride
Have been leaking lately
And the tunnel of frozen time
Has been increasing greatly

There's a knot in my throat
And the arrow flies close
Closer all the time
Closer all the time

Close the windows, stop the yawning
As the world grows weary of me
I cast off this sense of belonging
And slip into memory

Then to my friends, I'll be gone
And they'll gather and put me away
I hope Jeff will sing me a song
And everyone else will play

There's a knot in my throat
And the arrow flies close
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
