[HOMER, spoken]
The house was quiet;
'Member, Floyd?
We was all snorin' an' sleepin' real sound.
(sung)
You came atop the hill Floyd
Like a monkey jes' a-screechin' and a leapin'
[laughs]
Ya crazy loon
'Member, Floyd?
'Member how ya' screamed?
You hollered somethin' 'bout a cave;
In our nightclothes we came a-toddlin' out
An' Miss Jane in that ol' sleepin' bonnet
Like a duck she was a waddlin'.
'Member, Floyd?
'Member how she looked?
We was holdin' hands
As you marched us across the field
Was a whole mess a' stars that night...
As we enter in,
The lights of the sky die down,
Like still, like cool, like nightfall...
We have each other's hands
We have what we can picture
That's all we need to pa** the time...
[FLOYD]
Time inside has a way of flowin' on
[HOMER]
Goin' on a wind
[FLOYD]
It take itself a dive
[HOMER]
Time inside kinda' puts me in a mind of
When Mama was alive
[HOMER & FLOYD]
When Mama was alive
No one even says a word;
We are happy dreamin', we are
An' before we know it—
Daybreak is on.
[HOMER]
That's how it's gonna be;
That I promise
Long as you remember that
From nightfall to daybreak
From sundown to dawn
I'm stayin' here
