Secunindo Maldonado waited on the pier As the last train left the dock The first boat disappeared Over the horizon it seemed the boat was sinking But that's the curve of our world The further away you get from someone They seem to sink into the earth Secunindo Maldonado handed me a beer Over modest conversation on how old friends disappear It's funny how this world works We all seem to go quick I've been working just as hard To get that same old fix All these years, coming back to you Secunindo Maldonado counted down the years As his last friend pa**ed away He forgot his greatest fears Over the horizon the boat was sinking That's the curve of our world It's funny how The further away you get from someone They seem to sink into the earth Secunindo Maldonado somehow disappeared And the last boat left the dock And the last train disappeared It seemed that hope was sinking But that's the way of our world Trying to get close to someone As they sink into the earth
