High Notes and Tulips

Verse 1

Queens

Just kids

Park benches

Back in fifty-seven

Tom and Jerry on the radio

Singing

Small

Big dreams

Quiet voices in a loud hall

We were just two friends from the block

Bound by a single silver guitar string

Chorus

We are Paul and Artie

Just Paul and Artie

Harmony is all we ever had

Harmony is all we ever had

Coming home

Coming home

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Ooh

Aah

Aah

Verse 2

Dust

Old books

The sound of silence

Six strings and a wooden box

Folk songs

True

Short guy

Tall guy with the golden hair

I write the lines that keep us awake

He sings them high enough to reach the rafters

Chorus

We are Paul and Artie

Just Paul and Artie

Harmony is all we ever had

Harmony is all we ever had

Coming home

Coming home

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Ooh

Aah

Aah

Bridge

Bridge over water

Troubled times

Moving fast

Looking for America

Lost in the Greyhound bus smoke

Found in the blend of our breath

One soul

Two parts

Chorus

We are Paul and Artie

Just Paul and Artie

Harmony is all we ever had

Harmony is all we ever had

Coming home

Coming home

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Ooh

Aah

Aah

Outro

Just us

Then gone

The songs stay

They stay

They stay

Goodbye now
