How will we smile ever again
I'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend
What do you say, is there a way
My dear old friend

How will we laugh just like before
When there's water rising up to our door
And we may never see each other again
My dear old friend

Will there be someone to remember
A little place that we loved
How the music played all night and day
Through the windows up above

How the birds sang in the morning
How the dog barked in the yard
I guess that's nothing much but everything to us
And that's what seems so hard

How will we smile ever again
I'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend
The moon on the hill says we probably will
My dear old friend

Holy cats this is incredible. I thought I'd heard every PG song ever. Just ordered the CD.
Thank you.

edit: from the Austin Chronicle:
"On that March 2003 day when the invasion of Iraq began, the trio contemplated ways to convey their reaction, and13 Ways is the result."
An absolutely beautiful song, by one of the best songwriters out there today. Extremely touching. Glad I uploaded this one to the LRC, and glad it was approved.
