The Granite Shore Be that as it may

Tekst piosenki

[I]
[Songwriter]: There are some things set in stone;
And it’s best if they’re left well alone
Our positions marked, the hierarchy set
All the ghosts have joined us too;
The ideas, the songs, the people who
We left behind; have they caught us yet?
[Band]: Be that as it may;
You must still have something left to say…
[Songwriter]: …I’m not sure that I do

[II]
[Songwriter]: Though there were moments when I felt
The earth move and the ice caps melt
Though it sometimes seemed we were held in place by twine
Even then I never knew
If the rest of you could feel it too
Or if the only blood that ever thrilled was mine
[Band]: Be that as it may;
Someone has to count us off and
You know none of us can stay
Be that as it may;
This could be our one last chance…
[Songwriter]: Okay!
Once more from the top

[III]
[Band]: Be that as it may;
It’s cold in here and won’t get warmer…
[Songwriter]: …sometime even I’ll go grey
[Band]: Be that as it may;
We fought like cats and dogs…
[Songwriter]: …but we are family, especially when we play
[Band]: Be that as it may;
The good we’ve done just might live on
[Songwriter]: …and God but we were good on our day
[Band]: But be that as it may;
Of course we used to feel it just as you did…
[Songwriter]: …well, that’s something anyway
[Band]: Be that as it may;
The time…
[Songwriter]: …I know…
[Band]: …is now upon us…
[Songwriter]: …we’re all stuff and nonsense…
[Band]: …so you say!
Be that as it may;
You wrote our lines…
[Songwriter]: …yes they were mine…
[Band]: …and we were only
Actors in your play
[All]: Well be that as it may;
Our little live performance…
[Songwriter]: Oh yes…
[Band]: …come on!
[Songwriter]: Once more from the top…
[All]: Just play!
