Green Park by Thrice A Chuckle Lyrics

I saw you on Christmas Eve and didn't say much of anything at all
To be honest, I took you for dead
You took off your glove to shake my hand and announced your first name
I froze, flesh and bone
My unclean lips, I'm undone
All I remember is the one sentence I said and thought was safe
Bygone years like fallen snow
It's scenic still life long as no one touches it
And in time, melts away
I, your student for a few shorts years
Gleaned as much as I could then left you for life you didn't care to know
I was challenged by you and tested
You answered my questions with more questions
And you rebuked my baby blues
Foolish me, slow of heart
Had I listened I'd known you aren't going far
Your spirit stays with me
And you left as transient as you came
With a promise that you made your home not too far away

Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria
Yesterday I watched you go
The world can't hold the books I almost wrote
